Samshield Social Responsibility
At Samshield, excellence goes hand in hand with responsibility. Every product we design and every service we offer is designed to provide riders with safe, stylish and durable equipment, while respecting our commitment to the environment, our partners and our community.
Eco-design: choosing sustainability and excellence
At Samshield, every detail is designed to last. Our textile collections combine technical innovation and responsibility, offering riders stylish, comfortable and durable equipment.
We use recycled yarns and fibres such as REPREVE®, PFC-free DWR water-repellent treatments and Dupont™ padding made from renewable bio-based materials to ensure durability, flexibility and comfort, while reducing our environmental impact by limiting the release of hazardous substances, reducing energy consumption and improving traceability.
Each design is crafted to last: cuts, materials and finishes are selected to combine performance and aesthetics year after year.
L’Atelier Samshield : giving items a second life and reducing their environmental footprint
Beyond eco-design, which involves integrating environmental protection into product design by reducing the environmental impact of products throughout their life cycle, our Samshield Workshop, located in France, embodies our commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship excellence.
Our experts restore, repair and customise your helmets, combining style, safety and environmental friendliness by extending the life of our products. Thanks to the ReStart and ReStyle services, each helmet benefits from rigorous monitoring:
- ReStart: safety checks after an impact, up to five years after purchase, to guarantee your protection.
- ReStyle: personalisation and re-customisation, so that your helmet reflects your style while extending its lifespan.
Every repair is designed to limit waste, preserve the integrity of the helmet and extend its life cycle. At Samshield, excellence and sustainability come together in every stitch and every restored helmet. Designing for durability is not a choice, it is a promise.
Proximity and support for local retailers
At Samshield, we believe that quality and social responsibility are achieved through human relationships and proximity. For 20 years, our distribution model has been based exclusively on our professional retailers, enabling us to support local saddleries and preserve a strong local trade.
Through our Local Hero initiative, we collaborate with regional saddleries and passionate riders to promote our products while strengthening our local roots. Each partnership is designed to offer quality service and personalised support, while promoting the local economy.
By choosing Samshield, our customers contribute to the sustainability of a local ecosystem where every purchase helps to support trusted retailers and ensure a long-lasting professional network. Proximity is not just a word: it is a strong and lasting human relationship that is an integral part of our social commitment.
Traceability
At Samshield, transparency is at the heart of our approach. In partnership with Fairly Made, we trace the origin of our materials and production processes to ensure that every product meets our standards.
