Ayrtek or Masuri depending on price range.

£50 get the Masuri steel, upwards of that Ayrtek all the way.

I think most forumites will say Ayrtek. There is a minority who don't like them due to either the fit or the modern design.

Whilst it might not quite fit 100% of people it's definitely the most adjustable helmet available, and the fact that the modern shape is more a safety feature then a gimmick then the argument against the shape gets weaker.

Having used nearly all brands I'd say Ayrtek is best followed by Masuri.

And bear in mind that most of the Big Brand helmets are really Albion or Masuri rebranded.

Anyone here tried the Puma ones that were fairly popular in IPL season 1 i think? I had it and sold it on but i liked the fit better than the Ayrtek which might be due to me not using my Ayrtek properly...

Perhaps try some sweat pads in combination with the liner which may give u that little bit extra comfort to go with the liner?

Let me know if u want some and can organise them easily enough

I have the sweat pads in mine, adds a few mm to the lid so more comfort. I only use 1 on the front, not on the sides

Hmm it is perfectly fine for me to be honest.

Idiotic question but are you 'pumping' air innit at optimum level?
