i saw the surrey brown helmets tom was selling and his offer of giveing them a facelift if people wanted, i took him up on this offer!
i bough the ACS elite one and asked for it to be transformed into a white delhi daredevils lid as seen on the website. a couple of late nights and i daresay a couple of beers later Tom emailed to say it was ready and was being posted the next day. i received it the next day (just 5 days from order to delivery!).
it is a stunning lid and is bound to attract the attention next season! it looks brilliant and fits brilliantly, am very pleased with my purchase!
slight problem with grill but it is being replaced FOC, so no complaints here!
anyone after a helmet look no further than ayretek, you honestly cant go wrong!

Looks great bud, can you take pics of the inside of the helmet please.
-
That looks really good mate, I'm very tempted by one now!
-
think i'll be having a word with tom about one now :) finally been swayed i think!
-
harry and peps - go for it, far superior to albion and masuri in terms of looks and fit.
here you go wottytotty

I have a beautiful jet black Ayrtek with a couple of subtel pin-stripes!
It looks lush boys!
Will do some nice pics soon, so that you can all want one! :)
-
What was the prob with the grill? Helmet itself looks great!
-
i do like the look of it but i love my masuri too much otherwise one of these would be in my kitbag! bet your gear will look nice slogger with your lovly gloves that are on your way!:)
-
haha yeah looking forward to seeing that pete! Gotta decide on colours and see if he has any cool stickers left from other clubs etc :)
-

the grill is fine if you have a smaller head and fit it on the holes furthest forward however my head is big and i needed it to be fitted on the furthest back hole, and it wouldnt line up correctly with the helmet. chinese engineering apparently! but being replaced with one thats fits properly.

I must be the most unlucky cricketer... I have had two ayrteks sent to me...
1) Scratched by the courier - Tom paid for me to send it back and sent a new one
2) New one arrives... ACIS doesn't work, probably Royal Mail that bashed it about this time!
3).... we shall wait and see... the perfect helmet I hope!
Can't fault Tom for his customer service its top notch!
-
Looks Superb :)
-
looks great. certainly eye catching!
Particularly like the coca cola on the back!
-
join the Ayrtek club :)
-
I wanna join that club!!
-
any news on the pics pete?
-
I wanna join that club!!
Me Too !
-
That is nice, love the colours.
My current masuri is too old to sell and not knackered enough to merit buying another lid.

Do you like your masuri on terms of comfort and vision? What size is it?
-
It's a full size helmet (mens). It's comfortable and the vision is superb. It's an old version so they are a lot better now for comfort I would assume compared to mine.

Brilliant im going to look at a masuri in my local shop today.
-
Me Too !
I am joining it now :)
As nice as you think masuri feels, ayrtek will be better.. i had a masuri ti and didn't think it could get any better but apparently it can! Ayrtek all the way, worth the extra money too...

I'm going to try a masuri today at my local shop so ill see how it goes. im just thinking do i actually need a ayrtek as i only play club cricket.
-
ask tom what happens to a masuri under impact from a cricket ball. I don't wanna be taking the risk.

Tom what happens to a masuri under impact from a cricket ball ? lol
-
think it just cracked and disintergrated...cracking can lead to head injuries too i tihnk. the peak and bit above is dangerous as ball just hits it and goes in, doesnt reflect off...something like that. didnt stand up too well!

OMG Seriously ? But then again my pitch is really low so the ball dont bounce so nuffin is gonna hit me in the face unless its like a full toss.
-
yeah i mean its unlikely, you'd back yourself to get of the way and not many people are quick enough for this, so dont be scared, dont wanna put you off!!
-
i mean it probably came up second best after ayrtek!
-

Yeah ok cheers for advice
-
3rd best to Albion suprisingly!
-
oh my bad. Even worse than i thought then!
-
then how come all the international players use them?
-
£££££
-
They put vision over safety?
-
I am seriously thinking of getting an Ayrtek for next season, (green with my club logo) I have big shoulders and in the past have only found the Masuri grill comfortable to wear, so hoping the Ayrtek will be the same. I am 35 and a keeper so i have worn a few on the face. The worst injury however was a top edge whilst sweeping a spinner (yes spinner) left me with a depressed fracture of the cheekbone an damaged eye socket.......wear a lid people AT any standard of the game!

doubt that mate, micheal clarke, brand less, he is'nt getting paid is he?? Trott, using masuri, all the other sponsered players using the gunn and more helmets
-
Albion sponsor the Australia squad so hence his helmet is blank as per KP with his helmet and Hadden with his. the helmets are often left to the players personal preference as not all brands produce a helmet for their players to wear e.g Anderson and mongoose, Clarke should wear a slazenger elite which is the same as a masuri if your theory is correct and money plays no factor in this....with a bit of personal insight having spoken to the England team I can assure you they know their marketing value of what they wear when in the public eye.
-
onions must be the only england player who wear's a albion helmet now?
-
Him and luke wright??
Trying to think who else has an Albion, had broad and wright try on the 1st prototypes we had done for some feedback but this was in aug 08.
-
what did they say?
-
that they liked the technology and lightness of the helmets but would expect to be paid to wear them as part of a sponsorship deal....same as with Freddy!
-
So are you paying Kumar?
-
Nope he would rather wear something that protects him to a superior level than the other helmets to keep him safe if he takes a blow to the head.
-
makes sense
-
must be cool having sanga on speed dial :D
-
A good friend of mine has Tresco's number, refuses to give it to me though.
