Watch the Installation
Which installation method do I use?
The Equestrian Petite Da Brim can be used with two types of equestrian helmets:
- Section 1: Helmets with a non-removable visor greater than 1 inch in width. Use the pocket feature to install.
- Section 2: Helmets with a flush front, removable visor, or pre-moulded lip up to 1 inch in width. Remove the visor first, then install.
Section 1: Non-Removable Visor (Over 1 Inch)
For helmets with a non-removable visor greater than 1 inch in width. Use the pocket feature to install.
Begin with a Loose Adjustment Strap
Start with the adjustment strap fully loosened before installation.
Open the Front Pocket
Open the front pocket by separating the hook and loop fasteners. Insert the helmet's non-detachable visor into the pocket. Do not close the pocket fasteners yet.
Pull Down and Seat the Brim
Pull the rear of the brim down and seat the brim on the helmet. Make sure the crown of the brim is level around the helmet's circumference and does not interfere with where your ears will sit.
Tighten the Strap
Make sure the visor is as far inside the pocket as possible when the front of the Equestrian Petite Da Brim is resting flat against the front of the helmet. Tighten the strap by positioning your thumb at the rear of the helmet and pulling on the strap a few times. Tuck the strap into the hole provided.
Close the Front Pocket Fasteners
Close the fasteners on the front pocket by mating the hook and loops. Make sure the pocket is tightly closed. The brim should not be buckled or bowed. Double check the tightness of the strap.
Check for Correct Installation
Centres of the helmet and Equestrian Petite Da Brim should align. Always ensure the strap is tight. The brim should always seat in a level plane around the helmet with the front pocket tightly closed, to prevent detachment. Inspect hook and loop fasteners regularly for wear. If the fasteners do not function properly, discontinue use of this product. Check by pulling upward on the front visor as if in wind flow. The brim should not be loose or detach from the helmet.
Fit Your Helmet and Test Vision
After the brim is installed on the helmet, follow the helmet manufacturer's instructions for fitting the helmet. Then, while the helmet and brim are fitted, and prior to using it in an activity, check to ensure that the brim does not obstruct your vision. Pay attention to your peripheral vision. Should your vision be obstructed, remove the helmet and reinstall the brim.
Section 2: Removable Visor or Flush Front
For helmets with a flush front, removable visor, or pre-moulded lip up to 1 inch in width. Remove the visor first.
Begin with a Loose Adjustment Strap
Start with the adjustment strap fully loosened before installation.
Grip the Centre Back of the Helmet
Hold your helmet at the centre back with your thumb on the outside and grip the centre back loop of the brim at the same place with your thumb.
Rotate and Seat the Brim
Place your other hand at the front of the brim and rotate the assembly upside down. Push the helmet against your chest and slowly pull the brim over the helmet, seating the brim edge on the helmet. The black underside of the brim should end at the bottom edge of the helmet.
Flip Over and Tighten the Strap
Flip the assembly over and tighten the strap by positioning your thumb at the rear of the helmet and pulling on the strap. Tuck the strap into the hole provided.
Check for Correct Installation
Centres of the helmet and brim should align. If necessary, pull to straighten. Always ensure the strap is tight. The Equestrian Petite Da Brim should always seat below the front helmet surface, as shown, to prevent detachment. The front pocket should be closed and have a low profile. Inspect hook and loop fasteners regularly for wear. If the fasteners do not function properly, discontinue use of this product. Check by pulling upward on the front visor as if in wind flow. The brim should not be loose or detach from the helmet.
