Do you have a rear shot of the Premier?
Sorry to be awkward.
Have spent all season telling myself I would get an Albion Club mkII helmet, but now you've got an affordable helmet think i've found a winner. Is it one size fits all?
-
Yes all our helmets are one size fits all....ill see if i can upload the SWF file so you can give it a spin around

Try that....360 degree view of it for you
-
Not sure if this will have gone to press yet, but I'd be tempted to photoshop out what appears to be a small flaw just to the left of the Ayrtek symbol on the front view. I'm sure it is a trick of the light, but it could give the wrong impression.
-
thats a small indentation/countersink mark that is present for the underpeak attachment bosses :)
Should really photoshop them as the liner is on view in a few where it was only fitted in rather than being glued in due to the tight timelines we had to get stuff photographed
-
You've got a world leading product, worth getting the presentation spot on :)
-
Yeah im on the case but rather annoyingly its on my desktop in the office having photoshopped it yesterday so ill have to do it again now :(
-
Can we still get the club crest and intails on this helmet
-
Yes those options are still available on all the helmets in the range
-
How much will that cost ??? Will it replace the ayrteklogo on front or be above it ?
-
Ayrtek Logo was for the launch only
-
The Ayrtek logo was put on these to demonstrate where a crest could go....crest and initials package is £22.50

Have you seen any ayrtek in your league mate? I've seen 1 in Dorset so far, I'll hopefully be number 2.
You need to get into the CJI shop, so many teams around the Bournemouth area and most seem to get their stuff from CJI
-
Can't say I've seen any in Div. 2 yet. Deffo getting one for next year. Picked up a Ti Grille for £22.50 on Friday for it. :D
-
I got one for free!
Tom was selling them for £15 on here a while ago and my dad had one. Now my dad says I can have his one for my new lid!
-

Hi Tom.
Quick question. On the website on the pictures of the 360 degree image the blue lid has white lines on the side and up through the middle ot too.
The pics below the 360 degree image do not have these on, I wonder if these will be part of the final product or not or if i can specify these to be put on?
IMO it makes the helmet look better.
Thanks
Dave

I slept so well knowing last night that I had just got my first arytek helmet and before release too love you tom

Dave the silver pin stripes are not a standard issue on the Premier model but they can be included if you wish to have them on the helmet
-

Can't say I slept better, but certainly excited for mine to arrive! I've got for the plain matt blue look!
-

That red and black one looks truly epic.
-
Go on, who nicked my red/black idea?
-
Premier model now live on our website to purchase :)
-
Tom just to let you know that the website link does not work from the banner on the top of the page
-
On our website or on here ???
-
I don't have great knowledge on Ayrtek helmets but whats the difference between this and top of the line one which goes for 250 quids..
-
On here. If i click the banner that is on the top of random pages it comes up as website under construction but I can go to the website if I go direct
-
Link on here goes to .co.uk rather than .com
-
Ah right will have to get Leo to change it :) thanks for pointing it out lads
-

The elite that all the pros are using and alot of people have on here has a carbon fibre and Kevlar shell which is prob the most advanced material that could be used to make any helmet from. The premier is a high impact ABS and made in a completely different method
-
What retailers have you got signed up to take these so far Tom?
-
Quite a few across the country....put it this way no one has said no yet and not placed an order of sorts ;)
-
Good news. I haven't actually seen one in the flesh yet and would like to try one on before ordering one so I will keep an eye on the local retailers

Ah okay cheers mate!
If you don't mind me saying but wasn't this like 150 before?
-
It was which was an absolute steal for what it was costing to manufacture it!!! With the intro of the premier helmet we have had to raise the price of the Elite as cost price of titanium and carbon fibre have risen!
-

It absolutely make sense and the hike in price is very good move in terms of business perspective.
On the other hand I'm gutted for missing it for 150! :pissed:
-
how many hits will this take before a replacement is needed?
-
Following the BSI standard......I have to advise that after being hit your "meant" to replace your helmet.
How many people do i dont know but it would depend on the effects of a being hit i guess ???
-
ive been hit 3/4 times on mine and it has also bounced of the changing room wall a few times and its just as solid as its ever been.
how many of us are facing 80mph+ bowling...i dont think at impact slower than that will cause any damage to the lid at all
-
What have you been doing to get hit that often? I thought you played on slow and low tracks... :o
-
Never been hit on mine but had a few very close calls
-
What have you been doing to get hit that often? I thought you played on slow and low tracks... :o
only when i play at home.
Are home track is a pudding desont get over waste hight but some of the other tracks in are league are bouncyyyy.
been hit twice in the indoor nets when i first got it and twice this season (once in grill it kinda rolled up my arm) once top edge onto side of it went for 4 lol lol
but only at around 70
-
Tom few questions for you mate if you don't mind
- Since Elite and Raw ones are made from Carbon and Kelver shell so what is Premier made of?
- How safe is that? I mean upto what mph it can take impact?
- Also the interior of Premier is exactly same as Elite and Raw, is that correct?
Many thanks mate I appreciate it
-
as far as i know dave the inside of all the shells are the same. the only diffrence is the actually material the shells are made from and the number of vents!
-

Many thanks mate I appreciate it
-Premier is made from a high grade impact material...I cant tell you exactly what for obvious reasons.
-They are tested to BSI standards and pass with exemplary results, reading for the impacts on some sights were below the minimum that the machine is calibrated to read.
-same A.C.I.S liner is used across the entire range as are the other components the only change is the material the shells are made from.
-
Perfectly answered mate, thanks for all info! I appreciate it :)
-
Tom I think I read your post today where you said the protection PRemier shell offers is same as Elite/RAW, is that correct or I misread it?
-
no you are correct
-
Great! Sorry for asking so many questions the only difference it provides is weight correct?
Also do all Premiers have matte finish?
-
Not the one you have purchased is the normal finish, the first batch we have produced arent matte as such (liam requested a matte finish especially on his).
Correct re the weight....safety is the still very good on the Premier but as you pay more you get a lighter helmet with the Elite/RAW helmets
-
Make perfect sense, I don't have anymore questions really.
I am not too fussed with weight to be honest, my Albion NXT is heavier than Masuri Steel but feels lighter when I wear it so overall I'm a happy man to buy Ayrtek, always wanted it, in green with crest can't ask for anything more!
Once again thanks to you for brilliant customer service and Riz.
-
no problems all part of what we try and provide as part of the Ayrtek experience...will post crest tomorrow to be with Riz for thursday so he can get it sent off for you.
-
Great!
Once I get the helmet I will be definitely going to review it on various forums.
Thanks!
-
Just an update guys, got the helmet and it is brilliant! If Premier is so good I wonder how good Elite one will be!
Top product by Ayrtek/Tom!
Also must mention amazing service from both Tom and Revboy
Review to follow soon!

I'm returning to my first love (cricket) not the wife after a few years away doing other things (cycling not prison).
I sold a bike and bought an Ayrtek Elite. (It's the dogs thingy's) and I can't wait for nets to start in January. Problem is I will be playing Vets cricket and am prepared for a bit of mcikey taking, going out to bat in a flash helmet. (Might even keep in it, might even sleep in it)
Can I post a picture of it :)
-
Keep an eye out for a forum special offer we are thinking of offering :)
Any update on this?
-
Afraid not as our hands are tied now that the retailers have the helmets as we cant offer them any cheaper than our website RRP :)
