Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum safety and comfort, start by using the rear dial to loosen the harness before placing the hat on your head. Once in position, turn the dial until the helmet feels snug but comfortable, then secure the four-point harness buckles. The harness should sit flush against your skin without twisting. To clean, remove the internal liner and hand-wash with mild detergent and warm water; allow it to air dry completely before reinserting. Store your hat in the provided padded bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as heat can degrade the integrity of the shell materials.
