Samshield Miss Shield Matt Black Chrome PinkGold Blazon Crystal Fabric

Measuring. Run a tape measure around your head, roughly a finger's width above the eyebrows and over the widest point at the back of your head. Measure with the hairstyle you wear under the helmet. The figure you get corresponds to a liner size between 52 and 61.

Checking the fit. Put the helmet on with the chin strap open and bend your head forward. If it stays in place and you feel even pressure all round, you are good. If you feel one sharp pressure point, it is usually the liner shape or liner size that needs adjusting.

Care. Take the liner out regularly and wash it at 30°C. Let it air dry. Wipe the shell, the Pink Gold trim and the crystal fabric with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use solvents: they attack the chrome finish.

Storage. Keep the helmet dry, out of direct sunlight, and use a helmet bag when travelling so the crystal top and the trim do not rub. Matching helmet bags and protective backpacks can be found in the Maddelin range.

After a fall. Have the helmet checked or replace it, even when the outside still looks intact. Samshield offers a check-up and repair service you can call on for this.

This version suits riders who want something warmer and more personal than black on black, but are not looking for a bright colour. It is just as usable in dressage as on a jumping course and in eventing, and works as a competition helmet as well as for daily training.

Within our range, choose a different version when you want a cooler accent: the variants with Chrome Gold or with a fully dark Chrome Black finish then make more sense. If you want a high gloss shell, the Glossy version is the better choice. If you need size S or L, look at the standard version of the Shadowmatt model, which is available in a wider size range.

Put the helmet on with the chin strap open and bend your head forward. If it stays put and you feel even pressure all round, the fit is right. With one sharp pressure point, you usually adjust the liner shape or liner size. Wash the memory foam liner at 30°C and let it air dry.

Wipe the shell, trim and crystal fabric with a soft, slightly damp cloth, without solvents. Use a helmet bag when travelling. After a fall, have it checked or replace it.

How do I measure my head and which size do I take?
Measure your head circumference with a tape measure, just above the eyebrows and around the widest point at the back, with the hairstyle you wear under the helmet. This version is available in size M (55-58 cm). The liners run from 52 up to and including 61 and are interchangeable centimetre by centimetre.

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

What do I do after a fall?
Have the helmet checked or replace it. Even without visible damage, the inner shell may have absorbed energy. Samshield has a check-up and repair service for this.

How do I care for the helmet?
Wash the liner at 30°C and let it air dry. Wipe the shell, the Pink Gold trim and the crystal fabric with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasives.

What is Crystal Fabric?
A crystal-finished fabric that covers the top of the helmet. In this version it is in Pink Gold, so it matches the trim and the blazon.

Does the Pink Gold finish fade?
Nothing is stated about that in the product data. Do treat the finish with care all the same: no aggressive cleaners, and store the helmet out of direct sunlight.

Is this helmet suitable for jumping?
Yes. The model is intended for jumping, dressage and eventing, both in training and at shows.

Can I replace just the liner?
The liner is removable and available by the centimetre, so you can replace it separately if it is worn or if your fit changes.
