Samshield
XJ Dark Line Edition Riding Hat
How to measure for a riding hat
Use a soft tape to measure the widest part of your head over your hair about 3/4" above your eyebrows, just above the ear line and around the bump at the back of your head.
Take this measurement in centimetres and repeat a couple of times to get a more accurate sizing.
Please be aware that although Riding Hats and Jockey Skull Caps are sized the same way there is a difference in fit/shape of the hats between brands and styles by those brands.
We recommended that Skull Caps and Riding Hats are fitted by a professional.
Samshield uses 4 shells and a liner system to create their range of sizes for their hats.
If between shell sizes it is usually a case of trying both and seeing which is the most comfortable fit.

Highly ventilated with a modern design this Samshield XJ Dark Line Edition Riding Hat is designed for showjumping. Made with pure carbon fibre, a composite material providing an unbeatable strength-to-weight ratio teamed with an inner polystyrene shell to distribute better the energy produced upon impact. The internal removable foam liner has "shape memory" for comfort and is connected with a clip system. Designed to offer excellent ventilation provided by two front air inlets and the front entrance under the blazon to generate strong internal airflow.
The Samshield XJ Dark Line Riding Hat comes in two shells, medium and large, with each shell can accommodate 5 to 6 liners to obtain different sizes. This system allows the hat to be altered for changes in head size from younger riders and to changes in hairstyle without the need to by a new outer, as long as the size is within a shell's sizing range.
There are two styles of liners available for this hat. The standard liner is a 'closed liner' which is closed around the head. The 'open liner' which is open at the forehead and ensures optimal airflow is available to purchase separately or as a special request.
The liner is removable and washable at 30°C.
