Troubleshooting

Cap feels too tight or too loose

Adjust the rear buckle mechanism to find a secure and comfortable fit for your head size.

Water is seeping through the fabric

Ensure the waterproof membrane is intact and that there are no tears or damage to the outer fabric. For minor issues, re-evaluate care instructions to ensure proper cleaning and drying.
