After spotting one of these on the TV a while ago I decided to try get my hands on one. Picked it up on ebay for £27 posted. First impressions are quit good. Nice design and great padding and not to heavy even with a steel grill.
Turned up in a nice black bag which will most likely be stuck up in the loft as I have no real use for it.
As you can see the padding is fantastic and makes the lid really comfy to wear.
Now something that I did find quite nice is the chin strap clip. To release it all you have to do is tug on the little red strap and pop its undone. I have not tried it with gloves on but will update the thread once I have had a net.
As for sizing I got the mens size which comes with 3 sweat pads for your forehead. These are 3 differant thicknesses and as I have a small head I will be stitching the two thickest pads together so I get a snug fit. Will also be trying to get my hands on another set as spares.. (
anybody retailers with contacts at GN please get in touch if you can get a spare set)
As for the weight it weighs in at 785grams which is not to bad but I hope to get my hands on a Ti grill from somewhere which should bring the weight below 700grams.
Air vents on the lid look really smart and offer good ventilation.
So in a nut shell
.. Great lid for the price only down side is you can only use a GN Ti grill for this type of lid.... But once you have got one your all set...
