FAQs

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

Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows and around the widest part of the back of your head. Compare this measurement to the sizing chart provided by Karben. The micro-adjustable dial system allows for fine-tuning once a base size is selected.

Can the inner liner be washed?

Yes, the Comfort Luxe Liner and the anti-rub chin guard are machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. Allow them to air dry completely before reinserting into the hat.

What safety standards does this riding hat meet?

The Karben Amity SMRT Riding Hat meets the latest equestrian safety standards, including PAS015:2011 and BS EN 1384:2023. It is also certified with the CE mark and BSI Kitemark.

Is the peak on this helmet adjustable?

The Amity SMRT features a flexible fixed peak, designed for impact energy absorption. It is not adjustable in position.

How often should I replace my riding hat?

It is recommended to replace your riding hat every 5 years from the date of manufacture, or immediately after any significant impact, even if no visible damage is apparent. Also, check for any signs of wear and tear on the harness and shell.

What is the purpose of the AIR-XC System?

The AIR-XC System is designed for ventilation and heat release. It uses a combination of external and internal vents to promote consistent air exchange, drawing out warm, moist air and pulling in fresh airflow to keep the rider's head comfortable.

Does the hat come with a storage bag?

Yes, the Karben Amity SMRT Riding Hat comes with a reusable drawstring storage bag to protect it when not in use.

Troubleshooting

Hat feels too loose or shifts during riding.

Ensure the micro-adjustable dial is tightened sufficiently. Readjust the 4-point harness for a secure fit. Make sure the hat sits level on your head.

Ventilation seems inadequate.

Check that the external vents are not obstructed. Ensure the internal ventilation shafts within the EPS liner are clear of debris. The system is designed for passive airflow, so significant movement is required for optimal effect.

Chin strap causes irritation.

Attach and properly position the removable anti-rub chin guard. Ensure the faux leather-wrapped sides of the harness are lying flat against your skin.

Liner feels damp after use.

This is normal, as the CoolDry™ headband is designed to wick moisture. Ensure the liner is completely dry before storing. If the hat is consistently damp, consider more frequent washing of the removable liner.

Hat does not seem to offer sufficient protection.

Verify that the hat meets current safety standards and has been certified (CE mark and BSI Kitemark). Always replace the hat after any significant impact, regardless of visible damage.

  • Storage: Store the hat in the provided reusable drawstring bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. This protects it from dust and damage.
