Samshield Miss Shield Chrome Black Trim Blazon Crystal Fabric MetalEclipse

Finding your size. Take a tape measure and measure around your head, slightly above the eyebrows and over the widest point at the back. Wear the hairstyle you also ride in. If you fall between two sizes, choose the shell that fits and correct with the liner size.

Fitting. The helmet should sit evenly, without local pressure. Bend your head forward with the chin strap open: if the helmet stays put, the size is right. If it slides, the liner is too roomy.

Care. Wash the liner at 30°C and let it air dry, not near a heat source. Wipe the matt black shell and the crystal fabric with a slightly damp soft cloth. Leave out solvents and abrasives.

Storage and transport. Store the helmet dry and out of direct sunlight, and use a helmet bag when travelling. That way the crystal top does not rub against boots or brushes in the car. Matching helmet bags can be found in our range.

After a fall. Have the helmet checked or replace it. The damage usually sits in the inner shell and is not visible from the outside. Samshield offers a check-up and repair service for this.

This version is intended for riders who want to keep everything in the same dark tone: no gold, no contrasting colour, but a fine shine in the top. It is suitable for dressage, jumping, eventing and daily training, and suits riders who deliberately choose a restrained overall picture at shows.

Within our Samshield offer you are better off with something else if you want a warm metallic accent - a version with Chrome Gold or Pink Gold then makes more sense. If you are after high gloss instead of a matt shell, look at the Glossy version. If you need a size other than M or want navy instead of black, the standard version of the Shadowmatt model with its wider size range is the better choice.

Wash the memory foam liner at 30°C and let it air dry, not near a heat source. Wipe the matt black shell and the crystal fabric with a slightly damp soft cloth, without solvents or abrasives.

How do I measure my head and which size do I take?
Measure with a tape measure around your head, just above the eyebrows and over the widest point at the back, with the hairstyle you wear under the helmet. This version comes in size M (55-58 cm); the model runs from S (52-56 cm) through M (55-58 cm) to L (57-61 cm).

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

What after a fall?
Have the helmet checked or replace it, even if you see nothing on the outside. The inner shell may have absorbed energy. Samshield provides a check-up and repair service.

How do I care for this helmet?
Take the liner out and wash it at 30°C, then let it air dry. Wipe the shell and crystal fabric with a soft, slightly damp cloth, without solvents.

What is the difference with the Chrome Gold version?
Only the colour of the finish. This version has trim and blazon in Chrome Black, the other in Chrome Gold. Shell, liner and peak are the same.

Can I fine-tune the fit?
Yes. The liners are interchangeable centimetre by centimetre, so you match the helmet to your head circumference without switching shell size.

Is this helmet suitable for daily training?
Yes. The helmet is intended for training and competition. Do carry it in a bag, so the crystal top does not rub.
