The Samshield Shadowmatt Helmets are high-quality riding hats that can be customised in an almost unlimited amount of ways. They offer high levels of protection while allowing you to express your personality with a wide range of top materials, trim colours and crystal options available.
Struggling to visualise your dream hat, or can't choose which colours to put together? Then check out our Samshield Configurator HERE where you can view your hat in real-time to make sure it's exactly how you want it to look.
MATERIALS FOR OPTIMAL SAFETY
The outer shell of the helmet is made of polycarbonate, which is a material used, among other things, for high-end motorcycle helmets. It is covered with anti-scratch mat painting.
The inner shell is made of polystyrene with variable density providing a better dissipation of the energy produced upon impact.
STABILITY
The internal comfort foam, “shape memory”-kind, ensures a constant thickness over the years of use and the semi-rigid jugular cancels all risks of tipping the helmet due to violent movement.
This internal comfort foam is removable thanks to a strong clip system. This is much easier and more secure than traditional scratch/Velcro systems. It can therefore be washed at will in order to constantly be able to wear a clean and fragrant helmet. It also means that a replacement can be purchased and used whilst washing (it’s good to have a spare!). When you add a Samshield hat to your basket you will be advised to add a liner of your size. The website will automatically offer a Shadowmatt Liner for the Shadowmatt Hats or a Premium Liner for the Premium Hats. However, both liners fit in all hats. This means that you can choose a Premium Liner for a Shadowmatt hat if you wish and vice versa.
PERFECT SIZE ADJUSTMENT FOR UNMATCHED COMFORT
A thorough anthropomorphic study led to designing an inner-shell form with unmatched comfort. 3 shell sizes are available (S, M, L).
Small Shell:52cm-56cm
Medium Shell:55cm–58cm
Large Shell:57cm–61cm
With this system, it is also possible to follow the growth of a young rider. Due to being able to easily purchase different sized liners there is no need to replace the hat as the riders head grows.
INCREDIBLE INTERNAL AIRFLOW
Equipped with a front air inlet, the Shadowmatt helmet provides exceptional ventilation.
Fresh air is channeled from the front entrance to the back extractors around comfort foam which prevents from sweating. This concept generates strong internal airflow avoiding the need for visible and unsightly air inlets: the equestrian elegance is retained without banishing technicality and comfort.
SAFETY STANDARDS
Samshield Shadowmatt and Premium helmets meet CE EN1384:2017 and ASTM/SEI standards.
