A Little About The Brand

The Samshield story is one of legend. Founder Sam Maloigne, after a decade-long career as a French motocross/supercross international professional pilot and then sales manager for Oakley, began riding in 2003. Disappointed by the technical failures of the best riding helmets at the time, he started a project to create a riding helmet that would bring the security, comfort, and customizability he was used to in helmets in the motocross/supercross world. He partnered with Nicolas Delmotte, Simon Delestre, and Kevin Staut to create the high-quality and high-performance helmets that Samshield is known for today. Samshield helmets are specifically adapted to show jumping, dressage, racing, polo, and eventing activities.
