Title: Double Stripe Ayrtek Premium
Post by: kibbs_11 on January 12, 2012, 12:58:23 PM
I was looking at getting an Ayrtek premium to replace my Masuri. I really like the look of the black ones as shown on here...

Just wondered what you guys thought about having a double pin stripe, red and silver or would that look a bit too much?

Cheers,

Kibbs

Yes, i did see yours and must say yours was the one that finally made me want one! What helmet did you have before? I just hope two stripes doesn't look too much :/

I didn't really use helmets that much before last season but decided i was going to wear on. i ended up buying masuri ti (just in case i didnt end up wearing it at all). I ended up wearing it everytime i batted so though id invest in a Arytek for this season. Only netted with my Arytek twice so far, the 1st net session was really weird and couldn't get used to the feel of it. However i had a net last night a it felt really good. Just tightened up the chin strap a little more and i felt so much better.

Very happy ive made the switch, thanks TOM!!

Ill tell you what....i have a Ltd Edition black one here with red pin stripes that ill add a second set of silver ones too so that you can see the effect for yourself. Im in a slightly happier mood today as my I.T nightmare of the last two days has eased :)

haha its a tricky job getting them fitted and straight which was why they arent offered as standard on the Premier helmets as doing 500+ helmets would be a full time job for someone!!!

Glad to see my A-level in Art isnt going to waste ;)

Think it will match my red black and silver colour theme for this season?

One question, with regards to the helmet, where does the sweat get absorbed?

Thanks,

you can add sweatbands in if you prefer but most people dont...down to personal preference i guess

Sweat bands make it fit a lot better in my opinion!

Are those SG test gloves? Just seen a review of those from a link posted on another cricket forum and they sound pretty good. Where did you manage to get these from?

Really like those SG Test softs, pads and gloves both look class in my opinion.
