Samshield Miss Shield Glossy Ultra Fine Rocks Matt Black

How to choose your size. Measure your head circumference with a tape measure, about a finger's width above your eyebrows and around the widest point at the back of your head. This version comes in size M (55-58 cm). A helmet should sit firmly without pinching: it must not turn with your head when you shake it, and must not slide forwards or backwards.

Care. Wipe the shell with a soft, slightly damp cloth and then let the helmet dry at room temperature, away from a heat source or direct sunlight. Do not use solvents or abrasive products, as they attack the gloss layer, the texture of the top and the crystals. Keep the helmet in a helmet bag, that way the finish and the crystals stay intact longest.

After a fall. If you have had a fall in which your head was struck, do not use the helmet again before having it checked. Damage to the inner shell is often not visible from the outside. So have the helmet inspected, or replace it.

This version suits riders who want a classic black competition helmet with a little more detail than a plain model. Because all the accents stay black, it works just as well in the dressage arena as on a jumping course or during an eventing day, without drawing attention away from your outfit or your horse.

If you are looking for a fully plain helmet without crystals, a basic version from our Samshield range makes more sense. If you would rather have more sparkle or a colour accent, look instead at a version with a crystal finish in a contrasting colour. If your head circumference does not match size M, choose a model that is supplied in several sizes.

Wipe the shell with a soft, slightly damp cloth and let the helmet dry at room temperature, away from a heat source or direct sunlight. Do not use solvents or abrasive products: they attack the gloss layer, the texture of the Ultra Fine Rocks top and the crystals. Keep the helmet in a helmet bag.

If your head was hit in a fall, do not use the helmet again until you have had it checked, or replace it.

Which size do I take and how do I measure my head?
Measure your head circumference with a tape measure, a finger's width above your eyebrows and around the widest point at the back of your head. This version comes in size M (55-58 cm).

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

What do I do after a fall?
Do not wear the helmet again before it has been checked. Have it inspected or replace it, even if you see nothing on the outside.

How do I care for this helmet?
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth, dry at room temperature and store in a helmet bag. Do not use solvents or abrasives.

Is this helmet suitable for competition?
Yes, as far as the rules of your discipline or federation allow this version. Check that with your federation beforehand.

What is the difference with a plain black version?
The build of the helmet is the same. The difference is in the finish: here you get an Ultra Fine Rocks top, a matt trim with blazon and a frontal band with Swarovski crystals.

Do the crystals stand out in the arena?
They are made in black, so what you mainly see is a light reflection when you move. From a distance the look stays understated.
