Thank you for purchasing a Da Brim
®
Rezzo bill!
The Da Brim
®
Rezzo visor bill is part of the Rezzo visor system designed to be
installed to an outdoor sports helmet to be used with non-motorized sports, including pedal-powered bicycling, skiing, snowboarding,
skateboarding, climbing, paddling, and equestrian sports. Da Brim
®
is not designed for and should not be used with motorized sports
helmets and classes 5 and 6 whitewater helmets. Do not use this Da Brim
®
product other than as instructed herein and do not modify
this product. Use only the Da Brim
®
attachment band manufactured by Bryan Family Enterprises LLC with this product. The
following instructions describe how to use the Da Brim
®
Rezzo bill and attachment band as an adjustable helmet visor system.
Da Brim
®
Rezzo helmet visor installation is quick and easy!
The Rezzo helmet visor is provided as multiple pieces: 1. Attachment
band and 2. Bill. An optional third piece, the rear friction tube, is for use with helmets that are rounded or do not have a nook to fit
the strap at the back of the helmet; if you are using this product with such a helmet, you should unthread the strap from the buckle,
slide on the rear friction tube, and rethread the strap through the buckle before beginning. If your helmet has a removable visor, you
should remove the visor before installing Da Brim
®
. Do not use this product with helmets with non-removable visors.
Step 1
. Begin with a loose adjustment strap on the attachment band.
Step 2.
Hold the band so that the buckle is in your right hand and identify the center front, which is locate d between the two
stitches.
Step 5.
Turn the assembly right side up while still holding it with your right hand. Work the strap into an indentation in the back of
the helmet; for rounded helmets, be sure you’re using the rear friction tube.
Step 7.
To install the bill, align the center of the bill and helmet and press the sides of the bill (with loop fasteners) onto the hook
fasteners of the attachment band at the desired angle. Walk your palms toward the front of the helmet and tightly press the bill
against the mating fasteners on the band, as shown. Check to ensure that the hook and loop fasteners are secure.
IMPORTANT!
Be sure to leave a gap between the bill and accessory band to relieve air pressure. The faster you go, the larger the
gap you will need to prevent air pressure from building up and generating lift that may cause your helmet to become positioned
improperly. Minimum recommended gap (measured at center front) is ½”.If you experience lift during use, safely slow down, come
to a safe rest position, and reposition the visor bill to generate a larger gap. Always make sure the straps on your helmet are tight, as
per the helmet manufacturer’s instructions.
Step 8.
Check for correct installation before each use. Centers of helmet and Da Brim
®
should align. Always ensure the adjustment
strap on the band is tight. The attachment band should always wrap around the contours of the helmet and seat below the front
helmet surface, as shown, to prevent detachment.
Check by pulling upward on the center front of
the visor bill as if in wind flow—the Da Brim
®
assembly should not be loose or detach from the
helmet. If the Da Brim
does not seat as described herein, do not use the Da Brim
®
with this helmet.
Failure to properly seat the Da Brim
®
assembly could result in the assembly unseating during use and
startling you or others or obstructing your vision, which may lead to serious injury or even death.
Step 9.
The front visor model Da Brim
®
is equipped with hook and loop fasteners for attachment of
the visor bill to the attachment band. Always make sure the hook and loop fasteners are secured tightly before each use; if you do
not, the front visor could get caught in the wind, fly away, or flip down, and obstruct your vision, which may lead to serious injury
or even death. Inspect hook and look fasteners regularly for wear. If the fasteners do not function properly, discontinue use of this
product. Always use caution when riding. Do not ride in places, such as near overhanging branches, where the bill or straps could
get caught; if the bill or strap is caught by a branch or other object, it could cause abrupt head movement and/or a crash that may
cause serious bodily injury or death.
Step 10.
After the Da Brim
®
visor assembly is installed on the helmet, follow the helmet manufacturer’s instructions for fitting the
helmet. Then, while the helmet and Da Brim
®
visor assembly is fitted, and prior to using the helmet and Da Brim
®
in an activity,
check to ensure that the Da Brim
®
does not obstruct your vision. Pay attention to your peripheral vision. Should your vision be
obstructed by the Da Brim
®
, remove the helmet and reinstall the Da Brim
®
visor bill and/or attachment band. After proper
installation of the Da Brim
®
assembly to the helmet, your vision should not be obstructed.
To remove the Da Brim
®
from the helmet, wait until you are at safe location and at a rest position, then disengage the Da Brim
®
by releasing the tension on the strap by pulling up on the buckle. Pull up on the Da Brim
®
assembly to remove and separate the bill
from the attachment band for storage.

Step 3
. Hold your helmet upside down with the
helmet’s front pointed away from you. Align
the center front of the band and the helmet and
work the band around the helmet so that the
band rests on the contours of the helmet. The
band should wrap around the bottom surface of
the helmet.
Step 4.
Use your right hand and put you thumb
on the inside of the helmet and fingers on the
outside of the helmet, gripping the band and
helmet together.
Step 6.
Pull helmet up to your bicep and grab
strap and tighten, using your thumb against the
helmet as leverage. Tidy up the excess strap by
passing it through the rubber ring. Note that if
the rear friction tube is required, be sure to
align it at the center back of the helmet.
