Samshield Miss Shadowmatt Black Blason Ultra Fine Rock Black

Measure your head circumference with a tape measure, about a centimetre above your eyebrows and around the widest point of your head. This helmet comes in size M (55-58 cm). If your circumference sits right on the edge, try the helmet on in person: it should fit evenly, must not tilt when you shake your head, and should not give a single pressing point anywhere.

Keep the matt finish clean with a lightly dampened cloth and a mild soap. Do not use solvents or abrasives: they make a matt shell shiny in the places you rub. Let the helmet dry at room temperature, out of the sun and away from a radiator or heat source. Store it in a helmet bag, so buckles and zips in the car or the tack locker leave no scratches.

Has the helmet fallen or taken a knock, even without visible damage? Then have it inspected or replace it. A helmet is designed to absorb one impact; the damage is often on the inside and cannot be seen from outside.

This helmet suits riders who prefer a sober, professional appearance over a lot of shine or colour. The matt black look works well in the dressage arena, on the course and during daily training work, and stays tidy around the yard too.

If you are looking for more depth and shine, a glossy version from our range fits better. If you want clearly visible crystals or a colour accent, look at a version where the frontal band is set as well or where the crystals are chosen in another shade. If you ride mainly outdoors and want a wider peak, ask for advice in the shop about the Miss versions.

Which size do I take and how do I measure my head?
Measure with a tape measure around the widest point of your head, about a centimetre above your eyebrows. This helmet is available in size M (55-58 cm).

Which safety certification does this helmet have?
The exact certification is printed on the label inside the helmet. If you compete, check the current list of accepted standards with the FEI or with your federation: those requirements keep getting stricter.

What do I do after a fall?
Have the helmet inspected or replace it, even if you see nothing. The damage is often on the inside and hard to judge from outside.

How do I care for this helmet?
Wipe the outside with a lightly dampened cloth and mild soap, without solvents or abrasives. Let it dry at room temperature, not in the sun or near a heat source.

What is Ultra Fine Rocks?
That is a finish with very fine crystals. Here they are set in black on the blazon, which keeps the effect subtle.

What is the blazon?
The blazon is the small shield at the front of the helmet, above the frontal band. On this version it is set with Ultra Fine Rocks in Black.

Is this helmet suitable for dressage and jumping?
Yes. The plain matt black look fits both disciplines, in training as well as in competition.
