Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the helmet is clean before first use.
- Place the helmet on your head, ensuring it sits level and covers the forehead.
- Adjust the three-point harness using the sliders until it feels snug but not tight.
- Secure the quick-release buckle, ensuring it fastens with a click.
- Check for any movement by gently rocking the helmet side-to-side and front-to-back; it should remain stable.
Compatibility:
This helmet is designed for general equestrian use. It is compatible with most standard riding hats and attire. Ensure the size selected provides a snug fit without pressure points.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to clean the exterior shell. Mild soap can be used if necessary, but rinse thoroughly with a clean damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Lining: The padded crown lining can often be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth. For more thorough cleaning, consult the manufacturer's specific instructions if available, as some linings may be removable.
- Storage: Store the helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid storing it where it could be crushed or damaged. A helmet bag is recommended for protection.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the helmet for any signs of damage, such as cracks, dents, or wear on the harness. If any damage is found, the helmet should be retired from use.
