how many hits will this take before a replacement is needed?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Following the BSI standard......I have to advise that after being hit your "meant" to replace your helmet.

How many people do i dont know but it would depend on the effects of a being hit i guess

[Simmy]

ive been hit 3/4 times on mine and it has also bounced of the changing room wall a few times and its just as solid as its ever been.

how many of us are facing 80mph+ bowling...i dont think at impact slower than that will cause any damage to the lid at all

[Buzz]

What have you been doing to get hit that often? I thought you played on slow and low tracks...

[roco]

Never been hit on mine but had a few very close calls

only when i play at home.

Are home track is a pudding desont get over waste hight but some of the other tracks in are league are bouncyyyy.

Tom few questions for you mate if you don't mind

- Since Elite and Raw ones are made from Carbon and Kelver shell so what is Premier made of?
- How safe is that? I mean upto what mph it can take impact?
- Also the interior of Premier is exactly same as Elite and Raw, is that correct?

Many thanks mate I appreciate it

[Simmy]

as far as i know dave the inside of all the shells are the same. the only diffrence is the actually material the shells are made from and the number of vents!

-Premier is made from a high grade impact material...I cant tell you exactly what for obvious reasons.
-They are tested to BSI standards and pass with exemplary results, reading for the impacts on some sights were below the minimum that the machine is calibrated to read.
-same A.C.I.S liner is used across the entire range as are the other components the only change is the material the shells are made from.

Perfectly answered mate, thanks for all info! I appreciate it

[Cover_Drive]

Tom I think I read your post today where you said the protection PRemier shell offers is same as Elite/RAW, is that correct or I misread it?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

no you are correct

[Cover_Drive]

Great! Sorry for asking so many questions the only difference it provides is weight correct?

Also do all Premiers have matte finish?

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Not the one you have purchased is the normal finish, the first batch we have produced arent matte as such (liam requested a matte finish especially on his).

Correct re the weight....safety is the still very good on the Premier but as you pay more you get a lighter helmet with the Elite/RAW helmets

[Cover_Drive]

Make perfect sense, I don't have anymore questions really.

I am not too fussed with weight to be honest, my Albion NXT is heavier than Masuri Steel but feels lighter when I wear it so overall I'm a happy man to buy Ayrtek, always wanted it, in green with crest can't ask for anything more!

Once again thanks to you for brilliant customer service and Riz.
