With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

THIS READY MADE HAT:
OPTIMAL SAFETY: This Samshield Riding Hat is a sleek design that offers exceptional levels of protection and comfort, making it great for any rider. This hat features an outer shell engineered from polycarbonate, which is a material used, among other things, for high-end motorcycle helmets.Designed to provide you with optimal protection in case of a fall, the Samshield Shadowmatt Riding Hat is then equipped with an inner shell made of polystyrene with variable density, which provides better dissipation of the energy produced upon impact, to reduce the risk of injury.
STABILITY: The internal liner, made of a 'shape memory' type of material, ensures a constant thickness throughout use the years of use and the semi-rigid harness helps to keep the hat in place and secure. This internal liner is easily removable and can simply be clipped in and out as required. This allows the wearer to wash the liner after prolonged use, to keep their head feeling fresh and comfortable. It also means that a replacement can be purchased and used whilst washing (it’s good to have a spare!).A thorough anthropomorphic study led to Samshield designing an inner-shell form generating an unmatched comfort. These Samshield Hats are available in 3 different shell sizes, which can then be paired with various sized liners. This gives the wearer a bespoke and comfortable fit, that can then be adjusted if required. This system is great for younger, growing riders and prolongs the life of the hat.INCREDIBLE INTERNAL AIRFLOW: Equipped with a front air inlet, the Shadowmatt Hat provides exceptional ventilation. Fresh air is channelled from the front entrance to the back extractors around comfort foam which prevents 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. Samshield also works with the CRITT (a French-certified laboratory renowned for being the most demanding in the world) to ensure that all its products respect their standards.

PERFECT SIZE ADJUSTMENT FOR UNMATCHED COMFORT
Samshield Riding Hats are available in three shell sizes (Small, Medium and Large). This is due to a thorough anthropomorphic study which led to designing an inner-shell form with unmatched comfort.
Each shell can accommodate 4 to 5 inner foams of different sizes in order to obtain a perfect adjustment to the rider’s head. 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.
