FAQ
Product & Fit
What is a helmet brim and why do I need one?
Think of it as a cap peak for your helmet! It clips on to give you sun and glare protection while you ride. No more squinting into the sunset or getting blinded on those bright morning hacks. Your helmet stays safe and ventilated - you just get to actually see where you're going.
Will it fit my helmet?
It fits all standard equestrian riding helmets with front visor. The design works with all the usual brands. We've got Regular width for everyday rides (most popular size, and is the Akubra hat brim width) and Ultra-Wide for serious sun.
What's the difference between Regular and Ultra-Wide?
Regular is your everyday sun protection - perfect for most rides. Ultra-Wide is for when you're out all day or the sun's absolutely brutal. Same quality, same fit, just more coverage. Pick what suits your riding style!
Can you make a small inner size brim to suit kids helmet?
