Troubleshooting
Cap feels too tight or loose under helmet
Ensure the cap is seated correctly on your head before putting on your helmet. For minor adjustments, try slightly repositioning the cap. The cap is designed for a snug fit to prevent movement.
Reflective elements appear to be fading
Avoid harsh detergents and direct heat during drying, as these can degrade reflective materials over time. Hand washing and air drying are recommended.
Cap does not feel comfortable
Ensure the cap is the correct size for your head. Break the cap in with a few shorter rides to allow the fabric to conform to your head shape.
