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).

Back on Track’s next-generation therapeutic sheet will thrill performance horse owners everywhere with its great fit and strategic features. Based on the popular original Therapeutic Mesh Sheet, the Royal Mesh Deluxe Sheet delivers all the benefits you and your horse appreciate. And it also provides an improved fit, a better closure system and easy-to-use neck cover attachments.

New to Back on Track technology? It leverages ceramic-infused textiles in innovative designs for horses, dogs and humans. The fibers reflect a horse’s body energy in infrared waves, creating a soothing thermal effect. It helps increase blood circulation, which in turn eases stiff and tight muscles, prepares muscles and tissues for exercise and aids recovery from exertion. The technology can be used to help loosen sore backs, ease arthritic discomfort and help muscles become less inflamed. These comforting effects also tend to help animals relax. 

The Royal Redesign

To ensure your horse’s comfort and mobility and to maximize your investment, the Royal Mesh Deluxe Sheet offers these key features:

• The cut ensures a good fit around your horse’s neck and sufficient room at the points of the shoulders.
• T-buckles at the chest make on and off easier and faster.
• A woven, anti-chafe shoulder lining and the absence of closed gussets ensure optimal freedom of motion and fit.
• Reinforced panels around the belly surcingle attachments enhance durability.
• Improved, sewn-in attachments along the neckline make adding the optional neck cover easier.
• Webbing placed only along the spine rather than on the sides of the barrel gives the sheet a lighter and softer feel.

The redesigned Royal Mesh Deluxe Neck Cover, sold separately from the sheet, extends the therapeutic effects of the sheet to your horse’s neck and poll. Made without metal snap hooks to keep it lightweight and comfortable, it features:

• Hook-and-loop strap at the poll for optional attachment to a halter crown.
• Hook-and-loop fasteners along the neck to allow easy on and off.
• Woven, anti-chafe lining along the mane to protect hair.
• Hook-and-loop attachments to secure the cover to the sheet.  

The Royal Mesh Deluxe Sheet is a helpful option for horses facing various issues such as sore backs, tight muscles or stiffness. Its therapeutic effects can be enjoyed before exercise to help prepare muscles and after exercise to aid recovery and prepare the body for the next day’s efforts.
