I Know this kind of message has probably been posted on this board somewhere but i'm far too lazy to scroll through it all.
I've used a Maursi for the last 3 years but I'm considering jumping on to the Ayrtek bandwagon as I'm getting pretty bored of the Masuri.
How much would you guys recommend an Ayrtek? because its more of me wanting a new helmet than needing one.
Cheers

Possibly of use...

Ayrtek all the way mate.. :D :D

i use masuri but have had the pleasure of trying on a few of the ayrtek lids. i guess it depends what level you play and your budget. cant deny they are excellent in both quality and safety. safest on the market by far. top end ones cost alot but then as explained elsewhere your actually paying for what you get, when they say carbon fibre is used they dont mean a tiny amount like some other brands. If i had the cash i would definately have a Elite raw.
the premier is good value and offers great protection. Quite a few ayrtek users on here so can see a decent amount of responses. If in doubt speak to Arytek on here and he will be able to help you choose etc.

Get an ayrtek! I will also, coincidently, have an ayrtek premier Titanium for sale soemtime next week when my Ayrtek elite comes!
-
Thanks for all the help guys really appreciate it, They are cracking looking lids and I think whne I do next need one I shall probably go for Ayrtek.

As money does tend to burn a hole in my pocket (saving isn't my forte) I might be interested!
-
Its no brainer, Ayrtek all the way!!:D
-
Any question about any of the helmets in our range let me know and will be more than happy to answer them.
-
LOL, after bugging Tom for past few weeks I'm knowledgable enough to be Ayrtek's salesman itself lol
-
The only thing I worry about is the fit as I have an abnormally large head where on my Masuri I have to have the support strap at its biggest. But I will let you know when I want one Tom :)
-
Whats your head circumference mate?

Colour? Price?
-
I wish my suede was small enough for an Ayrtek :( Tried one on the other day and left an unhappy man
-
I cannot reccomend the ayrtek premier helmet enough, it is the most comfortable helmet I have ever owned, thanks again Tom
-
I've tried on both and found a masuri to be comfier... And cheaper. Ayrtek is the safest tho so depends how much you value your head. Not really worth buying an ayrtek if your not going to be facing quick bowling week in week out.

just like to ad that the ayrtek is much much lighter as well!
this is what did it for me i hated having extra weight on my head im heavy enough
-
Helmets aren't just for wearing against quick bowling as a high percentage of injuries come from top edges when sweeping from spinners etc too.
Comfort is perceptive to the wearer, the liner in our helmets is like no other helmet so takes some adapting too as it may require so moulding to your head.
Ours will never be cheaper as its a UK made product which means we pay a premium for this compared to other brands who make them in Asia at very low cost and enjoy some significant margins on their mark-ups!
-
Well I'm playing in the WEPL this year so it might be worth while buying an Ayrtek
-
Who you playing for mate?
-
Cheltenham CC :)
-
South west contingent getting quite strong now, maybe a cider country based batoff could be on the cards....
-
I bought a masuri half way through last season and love it however i have tried several ayrteks and they arre insanely comfortable, however i wouldnt buy anything but a masuri again, seems to fit better than the ayrtek and i have had no problems so far

This proposal is good.
-
Very good, as long as its no more than a reasonable couple hours drive from Dorset then I'm there!

How close to Yeovil are you mate?
-
See how the Northern one turns out and take it from there I reckon, it looks disturbingly professional at present!
-
How about Warminster? they have a 2 lane dedicated indoor facility with viewing area and are cheap to hire, plus bowling machine etc.
-
My school has 3 lanes, viewing area and bowling machine ;)
-
How close to Yeovil are you mate?
I'm 30 miles from Yeovil. So about half an hour. I could always bring along a bowling machine with auto feeder to save in costs. As long as its all good with the club
Let's move ontot he new topic I started
-

Now they just need to get some bounce eh!
-
Go to Bradley Stoke school then tell me that my school has no bounce
-
Enlighten me mate, never been to BS School
-
Unless you are 7 foot tall the ball won't get a foot off of the floor. No matter where the ball pitches on the creased mat you can comfortably get forward and toe the ball.
As for the netting itself it is brilliant for being loose on the floor inviting our youth members to slip on and dislocate their knee (last week). The facilities are awful.
-
Oh dear, I think Winterbourne is pretty decent now, just a shame it's impossible to get a ball over thigh high
-
past ur nose off a length still at the county ground!
