- Have the hat fitted by a trained fitter before first use.
- Turn the rear dial to tighten or loosen until the hat sits level and does not rock.
- Fasten the harness so it is snug under the jaw with room for one finger.
- Lift out the liner and wash it as needed to keep the hat fresh.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size riding hat do I need?
A: Measure around your head roughly 2cm above the eyebrows. XS covers 50-53cm, S covers 54-56cm, M covers 57-58cm and L covers 59-60cm. The rear dial adjusts within each band, so you do not need to size up for hair.
Q: Is this hat allowed for affiliated competition?
A: It is certified to PAS 015:2011 and EN1384:2023 with the British Kitemark. PAS 015 is approved and preferred by the British Horse Society, The Pony Club, British Dressage and British Showjumping. Always check the current rules of the body you compete under.
Q: Can I wash the hat?
A: The liner is removable and washable. The velvet outer should be brushed rather than washed.
Q: When should I replace my riding hat?
A: After any impact, even if there is no visible damage, and otherwise in line with the manufacturer's guidance. A hat that has taken a knock may no longer protect you.
Q: Does the dial replace a proper fitting?
A: No. The dial fine-tunes the fit within a size, but the hat should still be fitted by a trained fitter in the first instance.
