The reason an Ayrtek shell is up around the £120.00 mark though is because it has a carbon fibre/Kevlar shell which isn't cheap to make as you can imagine, otherwise you would see a ford focus with a carbon dashboard/roof rather than an AMG Merc.

The plastic shells are injection moulded from ABS which cost £2 from India which is then marked up from a £20 finished price per helmet to retail at £120!

New website is up and running with new price ranges, been working on the budget end of the market given the credit crunch!!!

Bucko sorry for trying to move the technology forward and improve the protection level of a helmet, we will try not to make it look too tacky when it stops you getting concussion or worse.

i cant understand why people would spend that much on helmets to be honest. all i do is end up throwing them against the changing room wall when getting run out without facing a ball!!!

also, as the old boys say, 'if the balls coming at yer head, hit the f****r!!!'
