The Samshield Shadowmatt V1 Riding Hat features a polycarbonate outer shell and variable density polystyrene inner shell for superior impact dissipation.
The outer shell of the Shadowmatt Version 1 is made of polycarbonate, a material used for high-end motorcycle helmets. It is covered with anti-scratch mat painting. The inner shell is made of polystyrene with variable density providing better dissipation of the energy produced upon impact.
A thorough anthropomorphic study led to the design of an inner-shell form generating unmatched comfort. Three shell sizes are available: S, M, L. Each shell can accommodate four to five inner foams of different sizes in order to obtain a perfect adjustment to the rider’s head. The size grid is available from 51 to 61. This system also makes it possible to follow the growth of a young rider.
The internal comfort foam, which is a “shape memory”-kind, ensures a constant thickness over the years of use. The semi-rigid jugular cancels all risks of tipping the helmet in case of a violent movement. This internal comfort foam is removable thanks to a much stronger clip system than the scratch/Velcro system. It can therefore be washed at will in order to constantly be able to wear a clean and fragrant helmet.
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 the comfort foam, which prevents sweating. This concept generates a strong internal airflow, avoiding the need for visible and unsightly air inlets, thus retaining equestrian elegance without banishing technicality and comfort.
