Samshield Miss Shield
The Miss Shield is Samshield’s wide-peak helmet. The wider peak gives a softer, more flattering profile and extra shade, and it is the front band that carries the decoration, which makes the Miss Shield the most customisable helmet Samshield make. The Miss Shield Shadowmatt has a matt finish; it is also available in Shadowglossy, which is a glossy finish. As the UK’s largest Samshield stockist, Espayo holds the Miss Shield in depth, from the plain helmet through to the fully jewelled versions.
The range builds up from the plain shell: a trim and blazon in matt, chrome, black chrome or pink gold, then a top and front band from Samshield’s many options, including Alcantara, crystal fabric, Flower Swarovski, Crystal Leaf, Crystal Bloom, Tiara, Night Pearl, Crystal Intarsia and Ultra Fine Rocks, with optional Swarovski crystals across the shell. The Miss Shield Premium has the whole shell wrapped in Alcantara. If the exact combination you want isn’t in stock, design your own and we’ll order it from Samshield, currently around five weeks.

In-stock orders placed by 1pm are dispatched the same day: choose next-day delivery at checkout, or standard delivery in 2–3 working days. Spare liners and accessories are here, and the full range is in Samshield helmets.
Samshield Miss Shield: your questions answered
What is the difference between the Samshield Miss Shield and the Shadowmatt?
The peak. The Miss Shield has the wide peak and a decorated front band; the Shadowmatt has the standard peak and no front band. Shell, sizing, liners, safety certification and the choice of tops, trims and blazons are the same, so it comes down to the look you prefer.
Is the Miss Shield only for women?
No. The name and the wide peak have made it popular with female riders, but it is the same shell and sizing as the Shadowmatt and is worn by men and women in every discipline.
How do I look after a decorated top or front band?
Wipe the shell with a damp cloth and buff dry. Brush Alcantara gently with a soft brush, and keep crystals and crystal fabric away from hairspray and perfume. The liner is removable and washable, and the helmet should live in its bag when you’re not riding.
Is the Samshield Miss Shield an oval or round fit?
Samshield is naturally a slightly oval fit. If your head is rounder, the Round V2 liner adjusts the fit, and we’ll advise which liner to choose before you order. KEP and Kask are rounder by design, so riders who have struggled to get those to fit often find Samshield is the answer.
Can I change the look of my Samshield later?
Not at home: the front band, top and trim are fitted at the factory. But Samshield’s ReStyle service, valid for five years from purchase, sends your helmet back to the Samshield Workshop for refreshed personalisation, and every ReStyle includes a full ReStart safety check, so you get a new look and a checked helmet in one. Contact us for a quote.
What happens if I have a fall in my Samshield?
Any fall where your head touches the ground can damage the inner shell without leaving a mark, so the helmet should not simply go back into use. The good news is that a Samshield doesn’t have to be thrown away. Under Samshield’s ReStart service, a helmet up to five years old (with proof of purchase) goes back to the Samshield Workshop in France for a full inspection; if the outer shell passes, they replace the entire inner shell along with the standard blazon, trim and top (custom decoration is kept), and return it to you as a safe helmet ready to wear again. Contact us and we’ll arrange it.
