This standard requires to increase the thicknesses of the inner and outer shells, and necessarily creates more weight. Therefore, for the XC helmet, Samshield decided to choose a pure carbon fiber external shell, a composite material providing an unbeatable strength / weight ratio.
The new helmet is an answer to every problem
Here is the list of active safety (ability to reduce dangerous situations) and comfort issues described by riders and jockeys, and the solutions and changes Samshield brought to the design of the XC helmet:
Sweating
Incredible airflow by air canalization
Headache
A thorough anthropomorphic study led to design an inner-shell form generating an unmatched comfort
Rotation
The internal comfort foam (liner), “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
Inside cleaning
Insert (liner) removable (clip system fixation) and washable
After sales service
Replacement of eventual damaged internal polystyrene shell in case of impact
Esthetics
It is no longer necessary to cover the helmet with a hat to hide an outdated style
