I use an Ayrtek RAW. I bought the youngest brother an Ayrtek premier steel, and that helmet feels like an absolute brick! It's not actually too much heavier than my previous Albion though, but I guess it shows how used I have gotten to using a light lid. 8) If my RAW broke, I think I would have to buy another one, as I love my lid. :D

I've just changed to the Albion Centurion bought from Aswani sports.

I've got a large head and was unsure the Masuri would fit!

It's really good. Fits well and even with the steel grill doesn't feel heavy.
I do sweat a lot and have found that the pads absorb a lot, but if I where to be really picky I'd like more ventilation.

I have an Albion with Ti grill, after my Masuri one came to an untimely end (meeting the changing room floor repeatedly until it smashed after getting run out in a game - was feeling very >:() the Albion one  was the only one I could get in time for a game I had 2 days later. I still prefer the Masuri shape but it does the job, and it was my own fault I don’t have it any more!

Anyway the broken lid I put in the guys bag who ran me out (Godfather style) as a reminder! We still laugh about it now, in fact he kept the lid as a memento  :)

I use a skin coloured one, and like much like A.C.I.S it can expand or decrease depending on the situation...

This season I am using an Albion with steel grille.

Cheap and cheerful lid as I probably won't be required to use it that often.

Bought a raw a couple of years ago which was quickly nicked by my son  :)

So i bought him one for christmas then my wife nicks the raw for her ladies cricket  :o

So i buy her an elite with her name on  :-[ and i have my raw back - probably in need of a refurb now but its like an old pair of shoes - fits perfectly as its now perfectly moulded to my head shape .
