Samshield is a French brand founded in 2007 by Sam Maloigne, a former professional skateboarder with a passion for riding. The idea of creating riding helmets came after a bad fall on horseback, when he realized that the helmets available on the market didn't meet his expectations in terms of comfort, safety and style.
