Samshield Miss Shadowmatt 2.0

Measuring. Measure your head circumference with a tape measure, slightly above the eyebrows and over the widest point at the back, with the hairstyle you wear under the helmet. If you end up at 52 to 54 cm, S is the one to take; 59 to 61 cm falls into L. In the overlap zones between shell sizes, your head shape and the liner choice decide what feels most comfortable.

Fitting. First set the size with Fit System 2.0, then check with the chin strap open whether the helmet stays in place when you bend your head forward. If you feel one local pressure point rather than even pressure all round, another liner is the answer, not tightening further.

Care. Take the liner out and wash it regularly, certainly during an intensive period. Let it air dry. Wipe the matt shell with a soft, slightly damp cloth; leave out aggressive cleaners.

Storage. Keep the helmet dry and out of direct sunlight and use a helmet bag when travelling. Our range includes matching helmet bags and protective backpacks.

After a fall. Have the helmet checked or replace it, even without visible damage on the outside. Samshield provides a check-up and repair service for this.

This helmet is the logical choice when you want the matt Miss Shield silhouette in its most recent version, with the emphasis on fit and ventilation. It suits dressage, jumping and daily training, and riders who want a restrained base they may have personalised later on.

It is also the better choice when you need size S or L or prefer navy over black: the custom versions with a crystal top or coloured trim in our range are usually available in one size and in black. If you want a finished version with Chrome Gold, Pink Gold or a Crystal Fabric top straight away, look at those versions. If you prefer a high gloss shell, the Glossy version is more suitable.
