Title: Todays arrival.
Post by: wilkie113 on May 25, 2012, 02:20:43 PM: As I wasn't in yesterday and no one could sign for my RAW. I had to wait until today to go and collect it from the post office. Massive ball ache but worth the weight. The box came out of the back room, and I think Mike went a bit wild with bubble wrap and fragile tape. The box couldn't be seen for it! (great packaging though didn't want my new pride and job getting damaged). I got it home and carefully opened it, as the box they now come in is a thing of beauty, and opened the lid. I had thought I had been sent a box of feathers as they are so light! Lovely lovely lid, and I am ashamed it has take me this long to get one after joining the forum last year. Really are a thing of beauty. Thanks to Mike, for the lid, and thanks to Tom for designing such a great product :D
I now find myself sat on my laptop wearing it. A little sad maybe? haha

have you had it on the scales yet ? :)

What I have found with mine is that it actually gets more comfortable with use as a bit of sweat seems to help the liner mould to your head shape.Dont know if anyone else has found this.

I use a fibreglass premier because that's all i have at the moment. The Elite is so much lighter though, so I don't understand why you wouldn't use it!?

My Premier one is my club one whereas the Elite is Green/Pakistan one, which would go for my Morning T25 but they have sold the team so it will for leisure really
