I was hoping for pictures of him 'in flagrante' in an Aukland titty-bar or something!

Never mind.

Post by: johan95 on December 28, 2010, 03:04:44 PM: Definitely prefer the Ayrtek, I'm sure it offers better protection. :)

Not only that but the back of the helmet is not round. It has a pointed tail .. sorta like the kind those bikers wear.

yeh that was something i liked but its design does look a bit like its intended more for limited-overs games where it fits in with the coloured kits etc
if it was cheaper id reall be tempted over an ayrtek but as its the same preice range ill sill get an ayrtek
