A little show-ring sparkle: meet the Samshield Miss Shield Flower Swarovski hat
Sparkle this Christmas with the Miss Shield Flower Swarovski hat
There’s something rather satisfying about finding the finishing touch to your competition outfit. The jacket fits beautifully, your boots are polished, and then comes the piece that brings it all together. For riders who love a little sparkle, the Samshield Miss Shield Shadowmatt 2.0 Flower Swarovski Jewellery Hat deserves a closer look.
With its blue finish, floral crystal detailing and wide peak, this is a hat with plenty of presence. Think an elegant addition to your riding wardrobe, with enough personality to make getting ready for your next outing feel that little bit more special.

The details that make it stand out
This ready-made design pairs a Shadowmatt blue shell with Blue/Majestic Blue Flower Swarovski Jewelry detailing (available in different colours) across the top and frontal band. Chrome Black trim and a matching blazon complete the look.
Blue would make a lovely companion to a navy competition jacket, particularly if you enjoy coordinating the finer details of your outfit. The floral decoration gives it a jewellery-like quality, while the matt finish keeps the overall effect balanced.
For anyone choosing between the two colours, blue offers a softer alternative to an all-black look. Black is an appealing choice if you prefer to build your competition wardrobe around classic monochrome.
Practical features beneath the sparkle
The construction includes a polycarbonate outer shell, scratch-resistant matt paint and a variable-density polystyrene inner. A six-point ventilation system encourages airflow, while the integrated, semi-rigid chinstrap is designed to help stabilise the hat. Its removable, washable comfort liner clips into place.
That washable liner is a particularly useful detail for an item worn through warm lessons and busy competition days. Although the decoration might be what first catches your attention, ease of care deserves a place on the shopping checklist too.
Sizes and choosing your fit
The Samshield 2.0 system combines an outer shell with a correctly sized liner. The size range runs from 52cm to 64cm, with overlapping options between shells:
| Shell size | Compatible liner sizes |
|---|---|
| Small | 52–56cm |
| Medium | 55–58cm |
| Large | 57–61cm |
| X-Large | 61–64cm |
These are the range’s sizing options; check availability for your chosen finish. The overlap means your head measurement alone may not settle which combination fits best.
A professional fitting is a sensible part of the purchase, especially if you are moving from another brand.
What safety standards does it meet?
The technical specification lists EN1384:2017 and ASTM F1163-15, with its description also referring to SEI certification. Confirm the labels on the supplied helmet and its acceptance under your discipline’s current rules before competing.
Price and where to buy
The blue version is listed at £591.70 at Redpost Equestrian, checked on 20 October 2026. Allow for the separately purchased liner when budgeting; prices and availability may change.
This is a considered purchase, and much of its appeal lies in choosing a finish you will enjoy wearing. If floral sparkle, blue tones and a wide-peak silhouette are already on your wish list, it is an inviting option to try on.
