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.
