Riding Helmet Accessories | Emmers Equestrian
Premium riding helmets from brands like Samshield and KEP Italia are built to be personalized rather than bought once and left alone. The main accessory here is the visor, or "polo," a separate peak that clips onto the helmet shell and can be swapped for a different color or finish, letting you match your helmet to a new jacket, saddle pad, or competition colors without replacing the whole helmet.
Beyond visors, this category covers replacement liners and padding for comfort and hygiene, and trim or strap pieces for helmets with a modular, build-your-own design. Buying the right accessory means knowing exactly which part fits your specific helmet model and size, since visors, trims, and liners are rarely interchangeable across brands or even across different ranges from the same brand.
Tips for Choosing
- Check the exact helmet model and range before ordering a visor or trim piece; a Samshield Polo Visor, for example, is made for Samshield's Polo-style helmets specifically, not for every Samshield model.
- Match liner size to your helmet's size, not your head measurement directly, since replacement liners are sized to fit a specific shell.
- Replace liners periodically for hygiene as much as comfort; padding absorbs sweat over time, and a fresh one keeps the helmet feeling (and smelling) as good as new.
- If you're after a fully custom look, check whether your helmet brand offers an online configurator before buying separate parts individually, since matching shell, trim, and visor colors this way is usually simpler and more consistent.
- Keep your original parts if you're swapping a visor or trim for a special occasion, so you can switch back to your everyday setup afterwards.
Frequently asked questions
What is a "polo" or visor accessory for a riding helmet?
It's the peak that clips onto the front of certain helmet models, buying a spare in a different colour lets you change your helmet's look without buying a new one.
Will any visor fit my helmet?
No, visors are generally made for a specific brand and model range, so check compatibility with your exact helmet before ordering.
How do I know what size liner to buy?
Match it to your helmet's size, not just your head size, since liners are made to fit a specific shell size rather than a universal head measurement.
How often should I replace my helmet liner?
There's no fixed rule, but once padding feels compressed, worn or no longer fresh after washing, it's a sign to replace it.
Can I customise a helmet I already own, or only a new one?
Often yes, if your helmet model has swappable visors or trim pieces, you can usually update the look afterwards rather than only at the time of purchase.
Do these accessories affect the helmet's safety certification?
Genuine replacement and brand-approved parts are designed to maintain the helmet's fit and function, but it's worth sticking to parts made for your specific model rather than mixing components across brands.
