Samshield XC-J Helmet Samshield

PLEASE SPECIFY WHAT SIZE LINER IS REQUIRED WHEN ORDERING

During the 2014 World Equestrian Games edition Samshield has launched the XC, an helmet designed to meet active and passive safety requirements for extreme disciplines which are eventing and racing. A year later Samshield proposes the Jumping version of the XC which is equipped with a flexible visor coated with genuine leather: the XC-J.

The outer shell of the XC-J is made of pure carbon fiber, a composite material providing an unbeatable strength / weight ratio. The inner shell is made of polystyrene with variable density providing a better dissipation of the energy produced upon impact.

The XC-J is certified to CE VG1 01.040 2014-12, BS VG1 01.040 2014-12, PAS015 and ASTM/SEI standards

A thorough anthropomorphic study led to design an inner-shell form generating an unmatched comfort fitting. 2 shell sizes are available (M and L). Each shell can accommodate 5 to 6 inner foams (liner) of different sizes in order to obtain a perfect adjustment to the rider’s head. The size grid is available from 53 to 61.

The internal comfort foam, “shape memory”-kind, ensuring a constant thickness over the years of use and the semi-rigid jugular cancel all risks of tipping the helmet in case of a violent movement. It can therefore be washed at will in order to constantly be able to wear a clean and fragrant helmet.

Equipped with two front air inlets, the XC-J helmet provides exceptional ventilation. Fresh air is channeled from both the front entrance under the blazon as well as the channel obtained by the unique concept of no contact on the rider’s forehead. Fresh air expels the hot air to the back extractors around comfort foam. This concept generates a strong internal airflow avoiding the need for visible and unsightly air inlets: the equestrian elegance is retained without banishing technicality and comfort.

2 inner (liners) are available:
• Liner “Closed” (closed at the level of the forehead): brings additional stability
• *Liner “Open” (open at the level of the forehead): ensures optimal airflow
