Product Information

Full details

The Karben Amity ELMT Riding Hat is designed for adult riders seeking advanced safety, high-performance comfort, and a modern, stylish look. Its key benefit is the combination of superior ventilation and a precise, adjustable fit for extended wear. A potential consideration is the high-gloss finish, which may require careful cleaning to maintain its premium appearance. Key features include the AIR-XC ventilation system, a BESPOKE FIT micro-adjustable dial, shock-absorbing shell, and a CoolDry™ headband.

FAQs

How do I determine the correct size for my Karben Amity ELMT Riding Hat?

Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows and across the widest part of the back of your head. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart provided by Karben. If you are between sizes, it is generally recommended to try the larger size first and adjust with the dial system.

Can I use this hat for activities other than riding?

The Karben Amity ELMT Riding Hat is specifically designed and certified for equestrian use. It meets safety standards for riding and should not be used for other activities where different safety equipment is required.

How often should I replace my riding hat?

It is recommended to replace your riding hat every five years from the date of manufacture, or immediately after any impact or damage, even if no visible signs of damage are apparent. The materials can degrade over time.

Are the safety certifications still valid if I remove the inner liner?

The hat's safety certifications are based on its complete construction. While the liner is designed to be removable for cleaning, the hat should always be worn with the liner properly installed to maintain its intended safety performance.

What does the 'ELMT' in the product name signify?

The 'ELMT' designation typically refers to specific design elements or technology packages within Karben's product lines, often indicating advanced features like enhanced ventilation or unique aesthetic treatments, as seen with the graphic print and high-gloss finish.

Can I wash the entire hat, not just the liner?

No, the entire hat should not be immersed in water or put in a washing machine. Only the inner Comfort Luxe liner is designed to be machine washable. The outer shell should be cleaned with a damp cloth.

Troubleshooting

Hat feels too tight or loose after adjustment.

Re-adjust the BESPOKE FIT dial slowly, checking the fit around the entire circumference of your head. Ensure the harness straps are also correctly adjusted and not twisted.

Ventilation seems insufficient.

Ensure all ventilation ports are clear of debris. Check that the Comfort Luxe liner is correctly seated, as obstructions can impede airflow.

High-gloss finish appears dull or smudged.

Gently clean the surface with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals. For stubborn marks, use a cleaner specifically designed for high-gloss surfaces, testing in an inconspicuous area first.

Chin strap buckle is difficult to fasten or unfasten.

Ensure the buckle is clean and free of debris. If the anti-rub chin guard is hindering the mechanism, try removing it temporarily to check operation.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precise and customizable fit with the micro-adjustable dial system.
  • High safety standards with certifications to PAS015:2011 and BS EN 1384:2023.
  • Comfortable inner lining with cooling properties.

Cons

  • May be warmer than unventilated hats in extremely cold conditions.
  • The style might not appeal to riders preferring a more traditional aesthetic.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Adjust the Fit: Use the BESPOKE FIT micro-adjustable dial located at the rear of the hat to tighten or loosen the internal harness until a snug and comfortable fit is achieved. Ensure the hat sits level on your head.
  2. Secure the Harness: Fasten the 4-point harness using the quick-release buckle. Adjust the straps as needed so they lie flat against your head and jawline.
  3. Chin Guard: Attach the removable anti-rub chin guard to the buckle strap for added comfort.

Compatibility:

  • This riding hat is designed for adult riders. Ensure you select the correct size for a proper fit.
  • It is certified to PAS015:2011 and BS EN 1384:2023 standards.

Care:

  • Shell: Wipe the outer shell with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, especially on the high-gloss finish, to prevent damage or dulling.
  • Linings: The Comfort Luxe liner is machine washable. Remove the liner from the hat and wash according to the care instructions on the label (typically a cool, gentle cycle). Ensure the liner is completely dry before reinserting it into the hat.
  • Storage: Store the hat in the provided reusable drawstring bag to protect it from dust, scratches, and UV damage when not in use.
