Hi guys,
Apologies if another topic of this is kicking about but I can't find any.
Was wondering where I could get a good cheap helmet for and what type of price they go for?
I had a Masuri one but that was a gift but the strap on it has broke so I am looking for a replacement.
Any ideas?

A lad at our club brought one on Sunday.
Kookaburra for £31.99 looks good and he seems very happy with it
-
Yeah I had a look at Ayrtek just there, they look good a bit pricey obviously that's due to the quality.
Oh yeah, can't believe I didn't even check sportsdirect!
-
Sports Direct: Slaz 24.99p cheapest upto Mazuri Evolution 69.99 dearest.
-
Would you recommend that Slazenger one though?
I'm looking at this one:

The GM zona lid is also worth considering, it is available around £40 in quite a few places, it is a chunk lighter than the masuri, I think.
-
Tried a few on recently more out of curiosity about new lids than anything else, Shrey Armour is probably where I'd go on a budget. Gf has one and it's better than I expected, about £50 if I remember right. Quite a similar feel to old style Masuris.
-
Ive currently got a GN atomic on ebay which im happy to go reasonably cheap, brand new with tags.
-
Can't recommend the @Ayrtek highly enough. Really comfy to wear and vision is really good!
-
As a cheeky CBF Wednesday special if you use #freeshipping at the checkout you can bag one for £67.00 inc UK P&P. for a Titanium model thats usually £125.
Be quick though as Ive only got 3 left in stock.

@hanif has got a good Shrey Materclass, but appears to be 'out of stock' maybe he is upgrading the stock?

Payday is tomorrow at midnight! It's tense!

I don't like wearing a helmet, I feel it impairs my vision, I haven't batted with one since the strap broke until yesterday when I used one. I couldn't read the ball at all and it seemed as if it was coming at me quicker.
It's also a nuisance when I run, even with the strap tightly on, it feels as if it just wobbles.
Anyone else feel the same?
-

@Slyboogy well let me know and I'll get one sorted for u, we use a 4 point chin strap that helps to reduce wobble.

Yeah I think I'll take it then, would the discount still apply?

Are you going against the norm of here and collecting helmets instead of bats? :P
-

Haha, and the forum strikes again. Good on you, and good luck in the season to come. Hope you get used to wearing a helmet.

Yes I have a problem with impaired vision particulary when looking down at the ball that lands by my feet the grills with the double top bar are the worse found that they caused me headaches through eye strain.
Wouldn't recommend it to anyone but To get clear vision I've reset my grill slightly so that the top bar on the grill is level with the end of my nose vast vision improvement had a a short few balls hitt the grill and gone upwards but never had a ball go through.

Yeah I have similar problem minus the headaches.
I'll try helpful hint when I try the Ayrtek :)
-
Will get the order dispatched for you tomorrow 👍
If any other CBF members want to redeem the free shipping option I've got 2x black helmets left in our clearance sale....these are the very last 2 in stock.
-
Thanks.
I hope I'll actually use it!
-
New helmet has arrived, looking good,feels good when running, not used in the nets, just tested it by jogging in the house.
However I am having trouble adjusting the grille, I have been unscrewing it but it doesn't seem to budge?
Can you advise @Ayrtek?
-
The nut caps will unscrew on it so you can adjust it, not all of the setting are viable as the grille was designed to fit other helmets as well using the different holes.

How much would you charge for shipping to Muscat, Oman?
-
@prav936 drop me an email to tom@Ayrtek.com with your delivery address and I can get a quote for you via our Fedex account 👍

Yeah I have been doing that, but the grille doesn't seem to adjust/
-
I'm not sure what you mean?
You can adjust the settings on it by swapping the position the rear holes are position by the bolt that's present? This will adjust the gap and distance the grille is from your face.
-
on the clearance helmets how do you adjust the size?
-
@Jamesfield if you mean the interior size then the helmet comes with different thicknesses of foam padding that alter the size/fit.
-
@Ayrtek can you check your PMs please?
