After a significant impact, its structure may be permanently weakened even if the outside looks undamaged.

We handle shipping, communication and the result. The manufacturer has the detailed knowledge of the model's construction and materials needed to assess its condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan you inspect helmets from other brands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. This service is for Samshield helmets only, as Samshield offers this assessment procedure. If you have another brand, contact us and we will try to help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs an inspection worthwhile if there is no visible damage?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. This is a common reason for using the service. The impact-absorbing layer can deform without visible external damage. An unmarked shell does not prove that the helmet still provides its original protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I send my helmet for inspection?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBring it to our service centre in Ruda Śląska or send it by courier. Afterwards, collect it in person or have it returned to your chosen address.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the inspection take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe timing depends on the manufacturer's process and transport in both directions. We confirm it after receiving your helmet. If you have an upcoming competition, allow for using a spare helmet during this period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat if Samshield does not approve the helmet?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe will let you know promptly. This means it no longer provides suitable protection and must be replaced. We can help you choose a replacement suited to your head shape and discipline. A helmet that fails the assessment should not be used or resold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a helmet repair?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It assesses condition only. It does not include repairs or refurbishment and does not restore protective properties. Its purpose is to determine whether the helmet is suitable for continued use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Serwis Equishop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62794129572170,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/4682\/1450\/files\/Hands_examining_riding_helmet_in__202608281248.jpg?v=1787914124","url":"https:\/\/www.equishop.com\/en\/products\/samshield-riding-helmet-safety-inspection","provider":"Equishop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
