Guide.

1

Ensure a Clean Surface

Clean the cycling hat surface with an alcohol based cleaner. Allow to dry.

Residue and grim can interfere with the effectiveness of the popper's adhesives.

1

Fit Together

Unfold and fit the front and back pieces together using the overlapping cuts.

Slide the pieces together and fit the front piece over the back piece using the inset cut.

Fold all tabs upwards by 90 degrees.

2

Placement

Place the Sombrim onto the cycling helmet and centre it.

Tuck in

If helmet has a visor, the visor can be tucked into front brim pocket at this point.

3

Take your Marks*

Assess which tabs best suit your particular helmet for the placement of poppers.

Note: You will not be using all tabs - only the front 4 and rear 3 are required to secure brim.

Ideally make use of either of the 2 centre holes on tabs to facilitate removal and adjustment.

Use a marker to mark centre position through the selected tabs.

* The Sombrim can also be installed using velcro should you choose not to make use of poppers - refer hard hat installation guide.

Some helmets may benefit from the extra stability a downwards folded tab provides.

4

Peel n' Stick

Remove the Sombrim and carefully place poppers centred over marked positions.

Allow the poppers to bind to the helmet for at least 5 minutes.

5

Attachment

Install the Sombrim by attaching it to the poppers.

Assess the sturdiness of your Sombrim fit. If desired, trim the unnecessary tabs.

FAQs

Something not quite right?

Find your answers below or send us an email - we're always happy to help!

There's no place to stick a tab on my cycling helmet?

Try folding the tabs downwards if there is no space. Experiment first by bending the tabs before placing the poppers down.

Is the Sombrim detachable?

Yes absolutely! If you feel the weather is getting a bit crazy, the Sombrim can easily be detached.

While you can leave your Sombrim on your helmet, it can easily be stored in a backpack, carry-on luggage, and some briefcases. As the Sombrim packs flat - you'll be able to stow it away with ease.
