Samshield Miss Shadowmatt Blue Blazon Ultra Fine Rock Cosmic Night

Measure your head circumference with a tape measure, roughly a centimetre above your eyebrows, around the widest point of your head. This helmet comes in size M (55-58 cm). Ideally try it on in the shop: the helmet should sit evenly, should not tilt when you shake your head and should not create a single sharp point of pressure anywhere.

Clean the matt shell with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap. Stay away from solvents and abrasives, because they give a matt finish local gloss. Then let the helmet dry at room temperature, not in full sun and not next to the heating. Keep it in a helmet bag so buckles and zips leave no scratches.

Has the helmet had a fall or a knock, even without visible damage? Have it checked or replace it. The damage is usually on the inside and cannot be judged by eye.

This helmet is the logical choice when your stable colours or competition outfit revolve around navy, or simply when you would rather wear dark blue than black. It fits in the dressage arena, on the course and during everyday schooling.

If you want the crystals to stand out more clearly, a version with crystals in a contrasting colour makes more sense than this tone-on-tone combination. If you prefer black, the same Shadowmatt in black is the better choice. And if you are after gloss instead of a matt finish, look at a glossy version from our range.

Which size do I take and how do I measure my head?
Measure with a tape measure around the widest point of your head, roughly 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 itself. If you compete, check the current list of accepted certifications with the FEI or your federation: those requirements are getting stricter.

What do I do after a fall?
Have the helmet checked or replace it, even when you see no damage. Part of the damage is on the inside.

How do I look after this helmet?
Wipe it with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, without solvents or abrasives. Let it dry at room temperature, out of the sun and away from a heat source.

What does Cosmic Night mean?
That is the colour name of the Ultra Fine Rocks on the blazon: fine crystals in a dark, blue-black tone that ties in with the navy shell.

Is the sparkle very noticeable?
No. The crystals sit in the same dark colour family as the shell and only shimmer when you move.

Does this helmet go with a black outfit?
Yes. The navy then reads as a subtle difference in colour. Tone on tone with a navy competition jacket is the quietest combination.
