Samshield Glossy Black 2.0 Frontal Band Glacier Trim & Blazon Matt Black

Measure your head circumference with a tape measure, about a centimetre above your eyebrows and around the widest point of your head. This version comes in size M (55-58 cm). Try the helmet on in the shop: it should sit evenly, must not turn or tilt when you move your head, and must not give a single pressing point anywhere.

A glossy shell shows dust and fingerprints faster than a matte one. Wipe it with a slightly dampened soft cloth and mild soap, and dry off with a clean cloth without rough fibres. Use no solvents or abrasives. Treat the crystal accents on the frontal band gently: wipe around them rather than scrubbing over them, and store the helmet in a helmet bag so buckles and zips cannot rub anything loose.

Has the helmet fallen or knocked against something, even without visible damage? Have it checked or replace it. What you see from the outside says little about the state of the inside.

This helmet suits riders who want to look well turned out at a competition, with gloss and a fine crystal detail, but without an outspoken colour. It is suitable for dressage and jumping and stays usable in training.

If you prefer a fully matte look, a Shadowmatt version from our range is a better match. If you want to see more crystals, look at a version where the blazon is set as well. And if you are after a wider peak, ask for advice on the Miss versions.

Which safety standard does this helmet carry?

How do I care for a glossy helmet?
Wipe with a slightly dampened soft cloth and mild soap, dry off with a clean cloth. No solvents or abrasives, and take care around the crystal accents.

What is the frontal band?
That is the band running across the front of the helmet, at forehead height. On this version it is finished in Glacier, with crystal accents.
