THIS READY MADE HAT:

  • Outer: Shadowmatt Blue
  • Top: Shadowmatt Blue
  • Trim: Titanium
  • Blason: Chrome Black

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.

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.

Please note:When you add the shell size that you require to your basket you will given the option of Shadowmattor Premium Liner & size options.

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.

    Sizing Information

    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.

    Measuring Head Size

    1. Circle the largest part of the skull with a soft tape measure (if measuring around long hair, tie the hair with a low-pony tail: this allows for correct measurement and reduces rotation when the helmet is worn).
    2. Determine the shell that you need to choose considering size grid below:

    Samshield Liner Sizing


    Fitting Information

    NOTE: Shadowmatt liners can fit in a Premium shell / Premium liners can fit in a Shadowmatt shell. The choice of liner is down to personal preference.

    • Always adjust and close the chin strap before you make any fitting movement tests.
    • If you feel that the helmet is too large or too small you can then adjust with a thicker or thinner comfort liner (please contact us and we can provide the correct liner in exchange).
    • If you have purchased a premium liner but do not like the “loose” feeling then do not hesitate to try a Shadowmatt liner. Again this is personal preference, some people prefer the Premium Liners and some the Shadowmatt Liners.

  • Does this hat have a Kitemark? I want to use it for both British Showjumping and British Eventing Competitions in 2022.
    Question asked by Rachel on 30/12/2021 21:05:55
    Hello Rachel, at the time of writing (January 2022), these hats do not have the British Kitemark, however they do meet CE EN1384:2017 and ASTM/SEI standards which are often part of the requirements for competition use. We would always suggest contacting the governing body to get clarification on this.
  • Does this helmet come with the Samshield helmet bag?
    Question asked by McKenna on 28/06/2020 23:27:14
    Hi Mckenna, The hat does come with a free thin drawstring bag. Hope this helps.
  • I have a round shaped head, will this fit me?
    Question asked by evie on 10/06/2020 14:42:31
    Hi Evie, It is difficult for us to say whether this hat will definitely fit or not without being able to fit the hat in person, however, we have found that these Samshield Hats do fit a range of head shapes. If you would like more information, you are welcome to call our team on 01803 812040 to speak to a member of staff who is trained in Riding Hat fitting. Hope this helps.
  • How long would delivery to the USA take?
    Question asked by Cali on 29/05/2020 23:44:56
    Hi Cali, delivery to the USA usually takes around 7-10 days, however, parcels can sometimes be delayed depending on how long they take to be processed through customs. Hope this helps.
  • When I measure my head with my hair tied in a low ponytail I am within the medium size range, however when I measure it with my hair tucked the way it would be when I normally ride or show then it puts me in the larger shell size. Which should I purchase?
    Question asked by Sydney on 24/04/2020 01:59:37
    Hi Sydney, Thank you for your message. We wouldn't normally advise customers to tuck their hair or ponytails up under their riding hats as it can affect their fit, however, we do understand that lots of riders use this method. It would be best to purchase the size that will fit your head the best with the way you wear your hair. If you need any further help on fitting or choosing your Samshield shell size or liner size please do not hesitate to get in touch. I hope this helps.
  • Does this hat come with a liner?
    Question asked by Tylar on 06/10/2019 23:59:32
    Ho Tylar, this Samshield Hat does not come with a liner, however, when you add the hat you require to your basket, you will be given the option of choosing either a Standard or Premium Liner to go with the hat. This liner will be discounted, but the price of this depends on which liner you choose. I hope this helps.
  • Hi, if I wear my hair up under my helmet, what size should I go for?
    Question asked by Ashlee on 01/02/2019 23:50:57
    Hello Ashlee, Samshield offers a wide range of sizes which make these riding hats much easier to fit than other helmets. We wouldn't normally advise customers to tuck their hair or ponytails up under their riding hats as it can affect their fit, however, we do understand that lots of riders use this method. If fitting for this we would recommend maybe buying a couple of liners, one for your normal size (without your hair underneather the hat) and one the next size up and then you can try both sizes and see which one feels and fits best. If you need any further help on fitting or choosing your Samshield shell size or liner size please do not hesitate to get in touch. I hope this helps.

    Hello Olivia, Samshield hats do currently meet the Pony Club hat standards (EN1384:2017 & ASTM F1163: -15). We would always suggest contacting the relevant Governing Body to double check. We hope this helps.
