I've got a pretty big head (similar measurements to yours) and my old masuri ti didn't really fit properly. It felt like it was sitting on top of my head as opposed to around the top of my head. I was always worried about buying an Ayrtek without trying it on but after months of thinking about it I took the plunge. The fit is really superb, the air lining makes it much more of a snug fit for the meatball heads of this world. Haven't used it in nets yet but from wearing around the house it feels really nice. I was amazed at the lightness as well (although I did upgrade to a ti)

I fully agree with you! I had been wearing Masuri for a year and I thought it is like that (eg sitting on top of my head) so I kept on playing and wearing that LOL.

Ayrtek fits extremely well!

Tom - thanks for the kind offer on the grill but I may be tempted by a titanium now.

SCS have the titanium on their website for £88 so I'm debating whether to order from them, very tempted but not sure if I really need one.

£88 including shipping?

If yes then it is a bargain with Ayrtek titanium grill cost around £44 if I'm not mistaken.

Titanium are definitely worth it!

Tom? He is amazing guy, I can go all day but he is seriously a top bloke!

Ti grills are their own are £44.99....Premier Helmets with steel grille is £79.99.

Upgrade to a Ti with is £30 which = £109.00 on our website but retailers will offer it cheaper as you have discovered :) By comparism our grills are considerable more affordable than other brands that market them at £60+

Thanks for the kind words ;)

I think it was £9 for delivery so £97 overall, pretty good deal really.

I'm going to have a think about it but will probably end up getting a titanium soon.

Ayrtek has just arrived and as other people have said its so light I didn't think anything was in the box. Only had time to open it up and try it on quickly but so far it looks really good.

As well as my comments on the bulldog bat on another thread I also used my ayrtek for the first time tonight. Felt very light and comfy but I noticed I didn't really have to pump much if any air in to get what felt like a good fit. The chin strap worked well and the lid didn't wobble at all. Not sure if it's any cooler than my old helmet yet but Im chronically unfit and sweat like I'm in a steam bath when I do the slightest bit of exercise.

One thing I did think was that the gap between peak and grill seemed a bit narrow so I might alter that to make it bigger (I know this defies the safety advice).

Ditto I just have the steel version, which I bought on Saturday. It's a fine piece of kit, much better visibility than my old Albion, and perfect for my massive swede!
