The Shadowmatt helmet, as with the whole Samshield range, is inspired by premium motorcycle helmet technology and made from high performance materials to offer the best protection and comfort to the horse rider.
The outer shell of the Shadowmatt is made of high quality polycarbonate which is used for high-end motorcycle helmets, demonstrating its great effectiveness as a protective material. It is covered with an anti-scratch, matt paint.
.Polystyrene forms the inner shell which creates variable density and provides better dispersion of the energy produced on impact. In addition, the semi-rigid chin-strap which is lined with leather and has rigid foam inside, cancels out all risks of tipping the helmet forward in the case of violent movement, for example in a fall, and helps to secure the helmet from rotation.
The inner liner is made from ‘memory’ foam to ensure a constant thickness, regardless of continued use, ensuring the hat stays comfortable and well-fitting for years. This foam is also removable with a durable, strong clip system, meaning that is can be washed regularly to keep the hat clean and fragrant.
A full scientific study founded the development of the inner shell to create a superior fit and unrivalled comfort. Three shell sizes are available; M, L or XL. Each shell size can accommodate five to six inner foams of different sizes in order to perfectly match the hat to the individual rider. This ingenious system also allows the hat to grow with the young rider, removing the necessity to continually replace hats for a growing head.
The Shadowmatt provides brilliant ventilation through its front air inlet under the visor, allowing fresh air to flow into the front of the hat and out of back extractors, around breathable, comfort foam, which prevents sweating. The helmet has an elegant appearance, with no unsightly air vents, yet still retains technicality and comfort.
The Shadowmatt is customizable, with three shell colours to choose from - Black, Navy Blue and an optional choice of Crystal Fabric Swarovski® or shimmer leather for the helmet top. With 28 options available for trim colour and customizable extras such as flags, rhinestones or sponsor’s logo, the Samshield Shadowmatt helmet offers fantastic individual style combined with optimum safety.
