FAQs

How do I ensure I get the correct size?

Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows and mid-forehead. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer. The micro-adjustable dial allows for fine-tuning, but starting with the correct base size is crucial.

Can I wash the entire hat?

No, only the Comfort Luxe liner is machine washable. The main hat shell should be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not submerge the hat in water.

What safety standards does this hat meet?

The Karben Amity ELMT Riding Hat is certified to PAS015:2011 and BS EN 1384:2023 standards, and features the CE mark and BSI Kitemark.

How often should I replace my riding hat?

It is generally recommended to replace a riding hat every 3-5 years, or immediately after any significant impact or damage, as internal protective materials can degrade over time.

Is the chin guard removable?

Yes, the anti-rub chin guard is removable, allowing for easier cleaning or replacement if needed.

What is the purpose of the flexible fixed peak?

The flexible fixed peak is designed to help absorb and dissipate energy from impacts, contributing to the overall safety of the hat.

Does the hat come with a storage bag?

Yes, the hat is supplied with a reusable drawstring storage bag to help protect it when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Hat feels too tight or too loose after adjusting dial

Loosen the dial completely, re-seat the hat on your head, and re-tighten slowly. Ensure the harness straps are also correctly adjusted.

Ventilation seems inadequate

Check that the internal ventilation channels are not blocked by hair or the liner. Ensure the external vents are clear of debris.

Liner is uncomfortable or causing irritation

Remove the liner and wash it according to care instructions. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting. Check that the hat size is correct; a poorly fitting hat can cause discomfort.

High-gloss finish shows smudges or minor scratches

Gently clean with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. For minor scratches, consider using a plastic polish specifically designed for high-gloss surfaces, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ventilation system keeps riders cool and comfortable.
  • Customizable fit ensures security and comfort.
  • Durable construction with high-gloss finish for a premium look.
  • Easy to clean with removable and washable internal linings.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the hat is the correct size. Use the micro-adjustable dial located at the rear of the hat to loosen the internal harness before putting it on.
  2. Place the hat on your head, ensuring it sits level and comfortably.
  3. Tighten the dial gradually until a snug, secure fit is achieved. The hat should not move excessively when you shake your head.
  4. Adjust the 4-point harness straps for a comfortable fit under the chin.

Compatibility:

  • This hat is designed for adult riders and is certified to PAS015:2011 and BS EN 1384:2023 standards.
  • It is suitable for most equestrian disciplines.

Care:

  • Linings: The Comfort Luxe liner is removable and machine washable. Wash on a cool, gentle cycle and allow to air dry completely before reinserting.
  • Shell: Clean the exterior of the hat with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the high-gloss finish.
  • Storage: Store the hat in the provided reusable drawstring bag to protect it from dust, scratches, and UV light. Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Buckle & Harness: Ensure the quick-release buckle and harness straps are kept clean. The anti-rub chin guard is removable for washing.
