Hats within each shell size may be re-configured by the manufacturer only to change the size through adding further padding. This is standard practice and therefore padding types and thicknesses may vary from one hat to another of the same marked circumference size.
The SNELL E2016 sticker is under the black removable crown liner next to the batch number and production date on the white EPS shell.
When should to replace your riding hat
Any riding hat that has suffered an impact should always be replaced, but even with normal use the effectiveness of the protective materials will deteriorate over time. While professionals riding a number of horses every day and in all conditions should look at replacing safety headwear every 1 to 2 years, the leisure rider could extend this to every 3 to 5 years with good care and depending on how often they ride – although they should make regular checks for signs of wear to the harness, lining and outer shell.
How to store your hat
Store in the original or protective packaging in a clean, dry cool area out of direct sunlight. Avoid extreme temperatures such as those found in vehicles during hot weather.
Avoid exposure to solvents, cleaning agents, adhesives, paints, fly sprays etc., which can cause damage. For example, spraying your horse with fly repellent while wearing your riding hat, may affect the external finish.
