FAQ
Will this hat silk fit my riding helmet?
It is made from stretchy fabric and is designed to fit securely over most riding helmets, including standard skull caps and peaked helmets. Very deep or unusually shaped shells may fit more snugly.
Does a hat silk add any protection?
No. A hat silk is a cover only and does not change the protection of your hat. Always have a riding hat fitted by a trained fitter, and replace your hat after any impact.
Is it suitable for road riding?
Yes. The reflective detailing helps increase visibility in low-light conditions, which makes it well suited to road riding, early mornings and darker evenings. Pair it with other reflective items for the best effect.
Does it have a peak?
Yes, it has a structured peak that gives a smart, polished look and holds its shape in the saddle.
How do I wash it?
Hand wash gently in cool water and dry naturally away from direct heat to protect the colour and reflective detailing.
Can I wear it over a skull cap for cross country?
It fits over most skull caps for schooling and hacking. If you are competing, check the current rules of your discipline for hat cover and colour requirements.
