Step-by-Step Installation

Method 1: Pocket method

For helmets with a non-removable visor longer than 1 inch.

1

Begin with a Loose Adjustment Strap

Start with the adjustment strap fully loosened before installation.

💡 Tip: Ensure the strap moves freely through the buckle before beginning.
2

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.

💡 Tip: Make sure the visor slides fully into the pocket before proceeding.
3

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.

💡 Tip: The brim should sit evenly all around the helmet without tilting to one side.
4

Tighten the Strap

Make sure the visor is as far inside the pocket as possible when the front of the Equestrian Petite 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.

💡 Tip: Give the strap several good tugs to achieve a tight grip.
5

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.

💡 Tip: A properly closed pocket keeps the brim secure and prevents wind from lifting it.
6

Check for Correct Installation

Centres of the helmet and Equestrian Petite 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.

⚠ Important: Failure to properly install the Da Brim could result in it unseating during use, which may lead to serious injury.
💡 Tip: If the brim does not seat as described, do not use it with this helmet. Failure to properly seat the brim could result in it unseating during use, startling a horse, or obstructing your vision.
7

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 check that the brim does not obstruct your vision.

💡 Tip: Look up, down, and side to side to confirm full range of vision.

Method 2: Pull-over method

For flush-front helmets or helmets with a removable visor.

1

Begin with a Loose Adjustment Strap

Start with the adjustment strap fully loosened before installation.

💡 Tip: If your helmet has a removable visor, remove it before installing the Equestrian Petite Da Brim.
2

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.

💡 Tip: Make sure you have a firm grip on both the helmet and the brim loop together.
3

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.

💡 Tip: Work slowly and ensure the brim seats evenly all the way around.
4

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.

💡 Tip: The strap should feel snug and the brim should not rotate freely on the helmet.
5

Check for Correct Installation

Centres of the helmet and brim should align. Always ensure the strap is tight. The Equestrian Petite should always seat below the front helmet surface to prevent detachment.

⚠ Important: Failure to properly install the Da Brim could result in it unseating during use, which may lead to serious injury.
💡 Tip: If the brim does not seat as described, do not use it with this helmet. Failure to properly seat the brim could result in it unseating during use, startling a horse, or obstructing your vision.
6

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 check that the brim does not obstruct your vision.

💡 Tip: After proper installation, your vision should not be obstructed.

1

Wait until you are at a safe location and at a rest position.
