Post by: Aussie on January 12, 2015, 12:20:47 PM

Anyone bought an albion helmet off SportsDirect?
Can anyone tell me if they come with the 2013 or 2014 grille?
Thanks in advance.

Im thinking along similar lines for a laugh during midweeks and t20. Or maybe force the Aussie overseas to wear it on Saturdays. should be prepared for some bob the builder comments though

@WalkingWicket37 what size did you end up getting?

Title: Re: Helmets from Sports Direct website
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on January 13, 2015, 05:24:07 PM

@JB medium buddy, fits a treat after a couple of wears with the thickest 12mm padding in, glad I didn't go for small as the 4mm padding wouldn't have as much room to give and mould  :)

Cheers, think I'll go for one

@JB my top tip would be measure your head first mate.
Mine was exactly 57cm so the middle of Small and Medium (and had I done that in the first place I wouldn't have got one the wrong size to begin with!)

I think I'm about 58 or 58.5 so a medium should be ok

Should be spot on then :)
