Title: Best helmet under £50?
Post by: Gelds on March 16, 2015, 09:07:20 PM
In need of a new helmet, medium mens size in navy. Max budget of £50. Seen a GM purist (http://www.vitascricket.co.uk/images/prod418_puristpro.png (http://www.vitascricket.co.uk/images/prod418_puristpro.png)) on Vitas cricket for £40 anyone have any experience of this or have any other recommendations? Thanks

I've tried countless helmets over the time I've been playing, my personal recommendation is to go with either an Albion or a Masuri.

I think Shrey also do a £50 model which appears to be good value.

If you're set on something that meets the new safety regulations the GN helmet seems to be getting high praise.

The new Gray-Nicolls Atomic at £37.99 would be a good option.

Available in 2 adult sizes (small/medium and large/xlarge) along with a dial at the back to give a better fit, the Atomic is one of most comfortable helmets at the moment and is selling better than the more expensive Test Opener model.

I've had a gray-nicolls helmet before and got on with it fine. Hadn't seen them on the couple of websites I'd looked at. I'll have a look on the VKS website and could well be placing an order :)

As mentioned in another thread, Sports Direct (cough splutter) have a Masuri for £50ish, I've just been to their store in Bristol Cabot Circus and they had two in there. Some horrid looking planks too :-)
