Troubleshooting
Hat feels loose in wind
Secure the removable chin strap and ensure the rear adjustment is tightened.
Sunglasses slipping from sleeves
Ensure the sunglasses arms are fully seated in the sleeves. Check that the hat is fitted correctly to avoid excessive movement.
Reduced cooling effect
Ensure the mesh crown is clear of debris and that the wicking fabrics are clean. Sweat and dirt can impede airflow and moisture management.
