Step-by-Step Instructions
Remove the Helmet Peak
Remove the helmet peak, if your style has one. Most easily pop out.
Pull the Hat Over Your Helmet
Place the inside helmet peak seam on the front edge of your helmet and pull the hat over to cover.
Adjust on All Sides
Adjust the hat across the helmet and on all sides.
Pull Down the Back Flap
Ensure the back flap is fully pulled down — it can get caught.

If your style has strap catches, fit these onto the helmet straps.
Tighten the Elastic and Toggle
Pull the elastic and toggle to ensure a secure fit.
Ride On
Grab your bike and have fun!
How to Remove Your Treadley
Always remove the hat while stationary and in a safe location.
Stop at a safe location and dismount if cycling or riding.
Loosen the elastic toggle and release any strap catches.
Lift the Treadley hat off the helmet.
Store flat to maintain the brim shape.
Important Safety Information
The Treadley Explorer is designed to fit over standard vented bike helmets — not motorcycle, ski, or other specialised helmets.
Inspect hook and loop fasteners regularly for wear. If they no longer grip, discontinue use.
Always make sure the straps on your helmet are tight, as per the helmet manufacturer's instructions.
