Samshield Miss Shield 2.0 Shadowmatt Blue Crystal Fabric Paradise Shine

How to choose your size. Measure your head circumference with a tape measure, about a finger's width above your eyebrows and around the widest point at the back of your head. This version comes in size M (55-58 cm). Because the liner helps determine the fit, it pays to try the helmet on: it should sit firmly without a pressure point, must not turn when you shake your head and must not slip forward when you bend over.

Care. A matt finish asks for a different approach than a glossy one. Wipe the shell with a soft, slightly damp cloth and do not use polishes, solvents or abrasive products: they create local shiny patches on a matt layer and damage the crystal work. Swap or clean the liner regularly. Let the helmet dry at room temperature, away from a heat source, and store it in a helmet bag.

Checking and replacing. If your head was struck in a fall, stop using the helmet until it has been checked. The inner shell may have absorbed energy without visible damage on the outside. Have it inspected or replace it. Also check now and then that the shell has no hairline cracks, that the chin strap still closes properly and that the liner is not worn through.

This version is meant for riders who want a blue helmet with a matt, quiet look and still a refined detail. It suits daily training just as well as competition, and combines easily with navy competition wear or stable colours in blue.

If you would rather have a high-gloss shell than a matt one, look at a Glossy version from our Samshield range. If you are looking for a classic black helmet, a black version is the safer choice for competition. If you want more sparkle, a version with Crystal Rain or with Crystal Fabric over a larger surface makes more sense. And if your head circumference does not match size M, choose a model that comes in several sizes.

Wipe the matt shell with a soft, slightly damp cloth. No polishes, solvents or abrasive products: they create shiny patches on the matt layer and damage the crystal work. Swap or clean the liner regularly, let the helmet dry at room temperature, away from a heat source, and store it in a helmet bag.

After a fall in which your head was struck, stop using the helmet until it has been checked, or replace it. Check now and then that the shell has no hairline cracks, that the chin strap still closes properly and that the liner is not worn through.

Which size do I take and how do I measure my head?
Measure your head circumference with a tape measure, a finger's width above your eyebrows and around the widest point at the back of your head. This version comes in size M (55-58 cm).

Which safety standard does this helmet have?
The exact certification is on the label inside the helmet. If you compete, check the current list of accepted standards with the FEI or with your own federation, because those requirements are tightening.

What should I do after a fall?
Stop using the helmet until it has been checked. The inner shell may be damaged without visible traces on the outside. Have it inspected or replace it.

How do I care for a matt helmet?
Wipe it with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use polishes, solvents or abrasives: they leave shiny patches on a matt layer. Dry at room temperature and store in a helmet bag.

What is the difference between Shadowmatt and Glossy?
Shadowmatt is the matt finish, Glossy the high-gloss one. Matt looks quieter and deeper in colour, gloss reflects more light.

Can I replace the inner lining?
Yes, the liner system allows the inner lining to be swapped easily. That keeps both the fit and the inside in good shape.

Is this helmet suitable for daily use?
Yes. The solid outer shell and the high-quality finish make it suitable for daily use, not only for competition days.
