Title: Shrey helmets - help needed
Post by: Percy_Grainger on December 30, 2015, 03:23:27 PM

Hi, I have been trying to purchase a new Shrey Masterclass Air helmet in standard men's size but have had little luck.  I am open to either navy or green as well as the type of grill.  But I am finding that almost no retailer in the UK has them in stock at a reasonable price (circa £140 for the titanium model or £80 for stainless steel).  Is it because all existing stock was sold in December for Christmas?  Does Shrey stop producing helmets until closer to the summer seasons in the UK?

Any help appreciated.  Thank you

I think IJC had them but they could be sold out I'm not sure.

Edit: just checked they only have XL in at the moment.

Thanks- I tried Talent but they said they have run out of stock until February.  Will try Aswani.

I am heading to play in Australia in early January and would like to get the neck guard also.  Another item not many retailers in UK appear to stock :(

I think the Titanium Masterclass comes with the neck guard, if not IJC definitely stock the guard as an extra part.

I'd try all of the sponsors first, have you tried allrounder? Newbery also sell Shrey helmets I'm sure

Might be a daft question but are you quite sure you need standard men's size, have you tried one for size? I tried it on and was surprised to find I needed an XL, and even that was a snug fit, when my previous lids have always been standard men's size. They seem to be very small.  Got mine on order with talent cricket.

£16 for a neck guard

Worth noting the description for the titanium one says it comes with a free neck guard. 

@Ayrtek the weighs in the descriptions for the masterclass air (approx)
Titanium 750g, steel 920g
