Title: Possible to get these awesome helmets in Oz?
Post by: DaanalSeed on January 08, 2013, 06:23:26 AM: Hey Tom,

I was wondering whether it is possible to buy Ayrtek stuff in Oz in a physical shop. I like trying stuff on before buying it, for obvious reasons.

Post by: DaanalSeed on January 08, 2013, 10:23:28 AM: Next few months? gah, need a helmet by the 14th. Sorry Tom, but it's Masuri this time. By the time I need a new helmet (I've used my current one since '07), I'm sure you guys will have a network set up over in the land of plenty.

Oh, by the way, if I can help, some of the good retailers to sell stuff at are:

- Greg Chappell Cricket Centre
- Rebel Sport
- Kingsgrove Sports
- Knight Sport
- Indoor sports centres
- Spartan sports

Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on January 08, 2013, 12:01:32 PM: haha sorry mate, hopefully wont be too long before we see them in the shops down there!

Just sending an order to Oz today as it happens but postage is around £50 so not cheap which as a knock on effect unfortunately :(

Post by: Wedge2408 on January 08, 2013, 12:04:11 PM: Yeah, I was keen on an ayrtek, they seem very very good.
However with the postage costs it just wasn't feasible unfortunately.

But as as mentioned earlier, hopefully by the time I need a new helmet ayrtek will have a decent set up here in Melbourne.

Title: Re: Possible to get these awesome helmets in Oz?
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on February 14, 2013, 09:59:08 AM: We have some heading down to Oz early next week as it happens, our man on the ground is doing the rounds currently to raise interest from the retailers so should be shipping some more out shortly

Post by: Jenko on February 14, 2013, 10:44:28 AM: Anyone in the Sydney/hunter region wants to try one I'd be happy to lend mine out in some nets. Hasn't gotten much use as I'm not a big helmet wearer!
Title: Re: Possible to get these awesome helmets in Oz?
Post by: DaanalSeed on April 11, 2013, 01:08:26 AM: Sorry for the bump, but is there any update on the situation in Oz? Do you have a list of any confirmed retailers?
Title: Re: Possible to get these awesome helmets in Oz?
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on April 11, 2013, 06:56:42 AM: Getting there as its now the buying season down there for you guys, should be in a few stores before the season begins again :)

Can't say too much more but things are in motion

Post by: DaanalSeed on August 13, 2013, 09:54:17 AM: Again, a bump, but Aussies will be VERY glad to know that these epic helmets are in stores!!!!!!!!

The Premier goes for $185, and the RAW goes for $365.
