Title: Just when you thought it couldnt get any better.....
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on February 15, 2011, 02:48:27 PM
Sneek Preview of our latest improvement to the helmets were looking to introduce, we know how tricky it can be to fasten your chin strap when you have your gloves on so we have this very clever little clip that does all the hard work for you!! Simple yet very effective.....

Let us know what you think :) ?

Like it thomas, simple yet effective, always the way forward!

Would it not come undone easier if you say stretch your mouth open and let out a massive yawn lol?

Yeah, I concur, very well-thought out and neat way of doing things. When are these gonna be implemented into the helmets out of interest. As I could have used one of those on mine haha! If we were to send a helmet back to you for an end-of-season refurb (if I require it), would you be able to add one of these little things in? Out of interest, I like the concept, getting closer to world domination every day!! ;)

By the looks of it, it can only come undone by sliding sidewards rather than if you were to stretch it by 'yawning'

yes it requires a sideways motion to unclip it as pulling in the direction of the helmet wont have any effect....Johan havent decided upon this eyt as it might be a feature we reserve for the very top end models ;) then again we might roll it out into all of them if feedback is positive as were kind like that :)

OUCH! OK mate, I see what you mean though. Might have to fork out for a RAW in future, but I could buy a bat from you for that money ;)

Tom

If a helmet was sent for a custom spray refurbishment would it be possible to get one of them

Title: Re: Just when you thought it couldnt get any better.....
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on February 15, 2011, 03:27:39 PM
i would think so mate yes
Title: Re: Just when you thought it couldnt get any better.....
Post by: johan95 on February 15, 2011, 03:29:47 PM
Oh ok fair enough mate. :) - Might have to get a custom spray done for next year anyway! Liking the idea of Red :D - is that the £45 one? Though as I said it's a very good idea, another USP! :)

All refurbs are £45 inc return P&P as this covers the time and effort involved to sort them out. This fee wont include logos/crest though as they are outsourced and cost extra.

Post by: alexrickyponting on February 15, 2011, 04:17:41 PM
looks like a good idea, but who puts their gloves on and then has to fiddle round with their helmet? dont most people just put helmet on before gloves?
still good luck with it tom :)
Title: Re: Just when you thought it couldnt get any better.....
Post by: Canners on February 15, 2011, 04:20:04 PM

great idea Tom

now all i need is a bat that plays its shots for me and whites that clean themselves after 3 days of lying in my bag.....
Title: Re: Just when you thought it couldnt get any better.....
Post by: johnnyw on February 15, 2011, 04:24:00 PM
Yawning should not open it as yawning contains a downward motion and there would be too much pressure on the clip for it to open.

Great idea Tom and I hope you do introduce it to your helmets and I think it might catch on to equestrian helmets etc.

Just out of interest, how does it work. Is there a magnet in it?
Title: Re: Just when you thought it couldnt get any better.....
Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on February 15, 2011, 04:26:11 PM
You are correct mate...draws the two clasps together and snaps it into palce.....then simply slide them apart to release it.
Title: Re: Just when you thought it couldnt get any better.....

A little more magic for u....dissected a shell recently so u cam see that the materials we use are authentic and are 100% caron fibre and Kevlar.
(http://i444.photobucket.com/albums/qq167/tom_ayrtek/d7638d9a.jpg)
The shell is 1.12mm thick when measured :)

We could make it thicker and effectively "bullet proof" but it does it job as it in terms of strength vs weight ratio.
