Post by: gdb19 on July 03, 2012, 12:11:43 PM: They look great, wish I'd waited now before buying an ayrtek at the start of the season.

Is it possible to respray the standard matte finishes to look like this or do they have to be manufactured in this way?
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on July 03, 2012, 12:19:33 PM: They have to be manufactured in this way is the cheapest option, you can spray a tinted lacquer onto them but it would cost nearly the same as buying one from quotes we have had!

Is yours red as well?
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: wilkie113 on July 03, 2012, 12:35:07 PM: So I was right with my guess of something in the weave :D

That red one is unbelievable! Really really nice

Not red...so am a little envious of the red one!
Bu the missus did say that she is happy with a shiny white, brown, black or pink helmet! But she is not 100% sure about a mix if colours although I think the mix looks great!!!

Post by: Alvaro on July 03, 2012, 12:46:31 PM: A union jack RAW would be sweet
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Simmy on July 03, 2012, 12:50:05 PM: i think end of season im going to flat my lid back, and paint it again with blue tinted laquer
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: tushar sehgal on July 03, 2012, 12:56:59 PM: I think a blue one similar to the red raw would look great too...any chance of a darker colour grill to go with these raw ones? like a mat finish black titanium grill...
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: tim2000s on July 03, 2012, 01:04:00 PM: Whatever you do, don't start telling people that you are jealous of someone elses shiny red helmet and you can't wait to get your hands on it...
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on July 03, 2012, 02:01:30 PM: The possibilities are endless in terms of combination of the grille and designs etc but we have to think what the majority of people would prefer...i personally think a black grille with the RAW would look great but that just my own personal opinion so no point in having 500 grills made up to it :(

It would be very difficult to do a multi coloured weave finish as these have proven tricky to achieve a one colour finish.
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Simmy on July 03, 2012, 02:21:37 PM: there is nothing stopping people painting there own grills tho?

just get them powdercoated will cost like 5 quid and finish will be solid
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: trypewriter on July 03, 2012, 02:32:19 PM: I don't really need one of these - I just want one! ;)

Only used once and I used the sweat pads so that the interior would stay pristine ;)

Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on July 03, 2012, 03:11:57 PM: Valiant haggling Timbo...but with only 5 helmets in existence we have to sell them really to recoup costs.
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: trypewriter on July 03, 2012, 03:20:13 PM: I know you mean well by tempting me, but there's no way I'm going to be giving third and fourth XI trundlers encouragement by wearing one of these - they do look absolutely fantastic though (the lids, not the trundlers). :D

Damnit! When I get mine refurbished, will you polish it up for me and make it shiny?
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Liam-SCCC on July 03, 2012, 03:30:25 PM: I'm even thinking off downgrading from an elite to a premier to get the RAW look!

With a bit of spit and polish I'm sure we can sort it out

The Premiers are only samples at this stage too, plenty of proper RAW's in stock though :)
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Liam-SCCC on July 03, 2012, 04:38:59 PM: I don't have the money to upgrade (or downgrade?) to a raw! You'd think I'd be content with the best lid in the world!
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: thecord on July 04, 2012, 01:17:12 PM: Now that I have seen these in the flesh I can confirm that they look awesome, especially the red one. My poor green premier feels like somewhat of an ugly duckling now :(
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on July 04, 2012, 01:22:23 PM: haha Sorry mate, dont want to make ur Premier feel unloved!
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on July 12, 2012, 12:10:27 PM: been having a play with the red raw and given one a matte finish to see how it came out....

Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Number4 on July 12, 2012, 12:25:38 PM: Looks good but maybe you shouldn't use "having a play" and "red raw" in the same sentence
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Number4 on July 12, 2012, 12:29:01 PM: Maybe call it the firemans helmet range
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....

If you're British they do. Speaking of, have you ever made any yellow helmets, a la Western Warriors?
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on July 12, 2012, 01:52:48 PM: not sure weve ever done a totally yellow one before in all honesty, easy enough to sort out though :)
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Canners on July 12, 2012, 02:00:11 PM: A red raw helmet, sorry that made me snigger :)
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Number4 on July 13, 2012, 12:54:51 PM: A green weave would look awesome
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Colesy on July 13, 2012, 03:36:41 PM: Could you get alternating colours Tom? Red, white and blue would be good for the Olympics
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on July 13, 2012, 05:12:40 PM: Think even that maybe beyond us :)
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Cover_Drive on July 13, 2012, 06:36:58 PM: Green and white RAW would be first I'd buy lol

Tom for past few days I was wondering, this thought came in my mind after Bouchers incident. Since the bails can sneak through current grills (every brand) wouldn't it be possible to design something so a bail can never make its way?

I know aero mask is similar but a grill would be decent idea in market I presume, no ?

Great Shout.
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on July 13, 2012, 09:08:06 PM: we have extra bars on our grille compared to others on the market to provide smaller gaps already...in theory u cud add more again but with this comes extra weight
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: FattusCattus on July 13, 2012, 09:39:23 PM: Thomas, the Red / Raw look rocks!!!!!!!! - definately what a proper batsman would wear! Is the Arytek logo a clear printed sticker or individually cut bits of white vinyl?

By the way - we've never seen your helmet on here - care to pop it out and show us?
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on July 13, 2012, 10:04:44 PM: Mr cat

It's a clear printed sticker mate, we have done a vinyl cut shape before in chrome. Think I put a pic of my lid up, nothing too fancy just a Raw with yellow pinstripes and a logo ;)
Title: Re: Few things we have been working on....
Post by: jamferg on July 13, 2012, 10:32:16 PM: I picked up a fully tooled up Ayrtek recently and Tom sorted uber cool Helios Cricket stickers. The first time Ive ever worn a helmet in 31yrs of p[laying adult cricket.. 2nd innings in and I'd forgotten I was wearing it!
