All for more protective lids, but this just looks bad, the ear protection, peak and grill are just awful!

Hopefully Albion will make better looking ones

People will buy it. There are plenty out there who like something a little different. Also there will only be 'x' amount of older illegal lids left, and once they are gone customers will be left with no choice, especially U19's who have to wear a helmet by law. Obviously they can go with other brands, but i expect equally space age designs.

Personally I like the GM lids which were released earlier this year and that is a very traditional helmet

Albion Ultimate 98s will be more popular now I think, providing they don't change the disign too much

Pretty cack in my eyes. As mentioned before, looks like they have just altered their old design to comply rather than design something new.

In fairness, I don't suppose Masuri have ad to do any real design work for years. Their helmets were always the market leader and looked the best (in my opinion) anyway. 

Anyway, the new law will see alot of companies having to change, so this possibly isn't the worst we're going to see......

Looks like good news for Ayrtek!

I don't want my helmet to have a crumple zone haha

I dont know about other people but i will be treating my Masuri like its made out of glass now

Personally don't see how there's make sense.



Two choices

Don't wear a helmet

Or

Wear a helmet that is ugly, and cant be adjusted to give good vision.



Hmm, tis only gonna lead to less people wearing helmets, which is surely a bad thing?

Will be interesting to see retailer reactions, especially from a few who only stock Masuri when initial response seems so poor.
Personally it is just a huge disappointment that they haven't really taken the opportunity to make more sweeping changes

I bet other helmet manufacutures are licking their lips at the sight of this..

[procricket]

I quite like it to be honest.

Look back on here many where asking about the toilet duck helmet look what happened people slowly liked it.

I suspect they will be other versions of helmets

so happy i bought an elite earlier this year instead of waiting for this! its awful
do you think the england players will wear them in the final test??

Does anyone know anywhere that sells the new style grill (not this one, the one on the current Elite lids) separately?

[smilley792]

Twitter reaction isn't great for masuri.


They are retweeting all the good tweets about the helmet, which is currently at 2.....
