Tom,
Any news on the magnetic chin-straps.
Just watched the video on YouTube which reminded me!

-
I asked him about this the other day as I would love one! Sadly they weren't put into production
-
Really surprised they didn't make it into production, surely I can't be the only batsmen who spends ages trying to connect the clips on conventional chin straps?
Would show just how superior and futuristic Ayrtek are compared to other helmet producers..
-
Maybe if we get enough of us forum-ers to commit to a purchase then Tom could get a limited run done?
I'd happily pay around a fiver for one
-
We could do but they aren't cheap to implement so would push the price of the helmets up if we introduced them across the range or just use them on the top end Elite/RAW models.
They also need a different strap system making up which isnt a massive issue but needs to be factored into production at the start.
-
Shame - as its a cracking idea :)
-
They are superb but they come at quite a significant cost!
-
this may sound like a simple question - but what do i do about the extra part of the strap that is just dangling when im wearing the helmet. In windy games it seems to be blowing everywhere which can be distracting
-
Tape it to the other bit if strap!
-
You could try wrapping an elastic band around the other strap, which you can then push the flapping bit into - it won't look classy mind!
-
good ideas! will try tape first though!
-
I tick mine back through the chin cup again to double up so it leaves less to flap about :)
-
I had the same problem as I've just got my arytek. I'm still unsure what the best combination is, chin strap on chin, under? Or taken off completely. I found when having on chin it sweats a lot and under chin it didn't feel quite right....
-
Mine chin cup is off completely
-
I thought that using the chin cup was part of the design?
Do Ayrtek helmets normally come with fitting instructions?

You are correct. You're supposed to wear the chin cup on the chin. There's a picture of me wearing it incorrectly somewhere and I was promptly told off by Tom!
-
Haha don't want any injur occurring if it's not being worn properly as they are most effective when used as directed :)

I tried this last night in T20 game, keeping. I was standing up and going back and couldn't get the strap off (like my Masuri) and un-clipping and clipping was a nightmare with inners etc. Why is this?

Were you inflating and deflating the liner as you did this? I've found that that works the best. Then you don't have to constantly use the clip.
The main reason that you can't easily do it I suspect is related to the idea that the helmet doesn't move like a masuri when you you get hit with the ball...

I didn't think about this...But a lot of hassle pumping up & down etc.
HMMMMM

i took my chin strap off i know i wasnt ment to but i just have the material under my chin
-
I don't unclip the chin strap when taking it off as it is quite fiddly with inners on to do back up again. I find I can slip it off and on again quite easily and just pump the liner back up a couple of times when I put it back on. On a side note I manged to take one on the jaw on Saturday so definitely need to change the grill settings!!
