Installation

Your SST Guards includes an Iron-On Velcro Kit  to easily insert and remove the guards while not in use.

* Before installing SST Head Guards, please check to see if your FlexFit hat has a single nylon stitch in the liner of the hat that connects the liner and the side of the hat. The stitch will be located approximately where the ear would be and can prevent the guards from being installed all the way down inside the hat liner. This stitch should be cut and will in no way affect the functionality of the hat.

Velcro Kit Installation Instructions

1. Each SST Head Guard Comes with a custom Velcro Kit that provides secure installation inside the hat, preventing guard movement during use. Each Kit includes:

1 complete Velcro Kit for installing a Dual Sided Set (2 Guards)

(1) 3″ x 1″ Iron-on Loop Patches

(1) 3″ x .5″ Peel and Stick Hook Strip

2. Make sure your SST Head Guard(s) are clean and dry. Peel the backing from the 3″ x .5″ Velcro strip and place along the bottom outer edge of the SST Head Guard.

3. The placement for the 3″ x 1″ Iron-on Loop Patch can vary based on the type of guard you purchased. Just be sure to place the Loop Patch inside the hat where it will meet the Hook Strip on the guard. You may use one or both patches included with each guard. Installing both patches included with each SST Guard will provide the most secure installation but one patch works as well.

4. Turn your iron to highest heat setting recommended for the type of fabric the hat is made with and activate the steam option.

• Make sure the Loop Patch is placed where you want it inside the hat liner and that it faces where it will meet the Hook Strip.

• Use a cotton cloth or similar piece of fabric to cover your hat. This will help protect the hat from being damaged by the iron.

• With the Loop Patch and protective cloth covering the outside of the hat, place the iron on top of the protective cloth and Loop Patch. Use firm pressure and move the iron slightly back and forth for 60-90 seconds.

• Allow the hat to cool for a few minutes and then check that the Loop Patch has been securely bonded with the hat.

• If any part of the Loop Patch, especially the corners, is not attached to the hat, apply the iron for an additional 30-60 seconds.

• Repeat the process for all desired Loop Patches.

• Your hat is now ready for secure SST Head Guard installation.
