Samshield Miss Shield Matte Black Alcantara Top Tiara Frontal Band

Measure your head circumference with a tape measure, about a finger's width above your eyebrows and over the widest point at the back. This version is available in size M (55-58 cm). Try the helmet on before you decide: it should sit evenly, without pressure points, and must not shift when you bend your head forward with the chin strap undone.

For the care of the Alcantara top, use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Stay away from solvents and abrasives, also around the crystals of the frontal band, and do not rub hard over them. Let the helmet dry in the air, not on a radiator, and store it dry and out of direct sunlight.

If you have had a fall in which your head was struck, have the helmet checked or replaced, even without visible damage. Within the Samshield range there is a check and repair service for this.

Choose this version when you want a dark, classic helmet with a detail that stands out, and when you prefer the texture of Alcantara to a smooth top.

If you are looking for something more discreet, the versions with an Ultra Fine Rocks frontal band or with a Crystal Fabric top from our Samshield range are a quieter alternative. If you want no crystals at all, a tone-on-tone Shadowmatt version is the logical choice. And if you wear your helmet every day in all weathers, a smooth shell without Alcantara is easier to look after.

Alcantara holds on to dust and sweat more easily, so give the top a regular going-over with a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasives, also around the crystals of the Tiara frontal band, and do not rub hard. Let the helmet air dry, not on a heater, and store it dry and out of direct sunlight.

If your head was hit in a fall, have the helmet checked or replaced, even without visible damage. Samshield offers a check and repair service for this.
