One of the biggest reasons riders choose Samshield time and time again is the comfort. And when it comes to riding helmets, comfort really matters.<\/p><p>A riding helmet needs to do two things well: protect you properly and feel good enough that you actually want to wear it. If a helmet doesn\u2019t fit correctly, the level of protection it offers can be reduced. If it feels uncomfortable, distracting or painful, it can affect your concentration and enjoyment every time you ride. Thankfully, with Samshield, you don\u2019t have to choose between safety, comfort and style.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f1c6d51 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f1c6d51\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-96b7d65\" data-id=\"96b7d65\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-afd898e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"afd898e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why an uncomfortable riding helmet can affect your riding<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-af5b3d7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"af5b3d7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-25b81ce\" data-id=\"25b81ce\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7060851 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7060851\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A poorly fitting riding helmet can quickly become distracting. Pressure across the forehead, tightness around the sides of the head or general discomfort can make it difficult to focus fully on your riding. In some cases, riders can even experience headaches or soreness from wearing the wrong fit.<\/p><p>When you\u2019re uncomfortable, it\u2019s harder to ride at your best. Your concentration can suffer and that can impact both you and your horse. A well fitted riding helmet should feel secure and supportive without causing pressure or pain.<\/p><p>This is one of the reasons riders love the Samshield liner system. Samshield helmets are designed in two parts: the outer shell and the removable liner. This means you can fine tune the fit without replacing the entire helmet. If your fit changes slightly due to hairstyle, head shape or personal preference, you can simply change the liner to achieve a better fit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b0570ac elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b0570ac\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bb9156e\" data-id=\"bb9156e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4dbe2db elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4dbe2db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Can poor helmet fit affect safety?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a572ca4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a572ca4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ad03e94\" data-id=\"ad03e94\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d2d6c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6d2d6c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yes.

Equally, if a helmet is uncomfortable enough that you avoid wearing it altogether, your safety is obviously being compromised.<\/p><p>Comfort also plays an important role in helping riders stay focused.

The liners are made using memory foam which adapts to the shape of your head for a secure and comfortable feel.<\/p><p>They are easy to clip in and remove, work alongside the helmet ventilation system and are available in both round and regular shapes. Certain styles also offer additional room around the forehead for riders who need a little extra space in that area.<\/p><p>Liners are available in sizes from 52cm to 61cm and come in both standard and round fit options, helping riders achieve a more personalised fit. It\u2019s important to select the correct liner for your shell size to ensure compatibility. Another feature riders really appreciate is that the liners are washable. Riding helmets naturally collect sweat, makeup, SPF and everyday dirt over time. With Samshield, you can simply remove the liner, wash it, allow it to dry and clip it back in ready for your next ride. It\u2019s a simple feature, but one that makes a huge difference when you wear your helmet regularly. A quick tip from us: do not put your hat in the washing machine \u2013 trust us, it has been done and it\u2019s a huge no no!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-cd88e30 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"cd88e30\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a8c7e1c\" data-id=\"a8c7e1c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a64b3d4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a64b3d4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Staying cooler in the saddle<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1271f01 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1271f01\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4d6c5de\" data-id=\"4d6c5de\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9f6004a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9f6004a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Comfort isn\u2019t only about fit.
