Whether you’re already a fan of Samshield helmets or you’d like to try something new, the Samshield 2.0 Helmet offers notable advances you’ll want to consider. The revolutionary, original Samshield helmet gave riders unprecedented comfort and elegance. The unique design eliminated pressure on the rider’s forehead, provided amazing—yet discreet—airflow and offered a sophisticated look appropriate for any ring.
Now, based on two decades of experience and four years in research and development, the enhanced design of the Samshield 2.0 Helmet delivers even more: ultimate safety, optimum airflow and unrivaled comfort.
Ultimate Safety
The 2.0 Helmet is designed in collaboration with professional riders and made from premium materials to deliver new standards in protection.
- Polycarbonate used in the shell is the same material used for elite motorcycle helmets.
- Inner shell is made of variable-density polystyrene to provide optimal dissipation of impact energy.
- Liner (removable and washable) has a much stronger clip system than hook-and-loop varieties.
- Memory foam in the liner maintains a perfect fit, ensuring constant thickness over years of use.
- Semi-rigid chin strap eliminates any risk of the helmet tipping over in the event of violent movement.
- Meets current safety standards: CE EN1384-17 and ASTM/SEI 2023 certifications.
Optimum Airflow
An innovative six-point ventilation system draws fresh air discreetly into the front of the helmet, through the shell, and pushes warm air out the back. The design keeps air moving over the rider’s head, yet the subtle vents maintain a polished look on the exterior of the helmet.
Unrivaled Comfort
In addition to the exceptional airflow for cooling, the 2.0 Helmet feels comfortable in any ride.
- Thermoregulatory materials in the liner help manage heat and moisture.
- Memory foam in the liner provides cushioning.
- A new, integrated chin strap works well with all hair styles and allows a perfect fit even in the presence of a hair bun.
- The liner is washable and replaceable, giving you the opportunity to maintain a hygienic helmet.
Extended Sizes
The 2.0 range brings great news for riders who struggle to find larger sized helmets. An extra-large size shell is available and covers sizes 61XL (75/8), 62 (7¾), 63 (77/8) and 64 (8).
