So glad i bought a Masuri earlier this season, that is rank.

So, they've basically designed it so that the peak crumples when hit by a ball. Not only does it look like someone's retrofitted a great big spoiler to a 1970's Volvo, it's also designed to make you buy a new one once you've had an impact rather than keep going as we usually do....

I wonder how long that peak will last in most people's kit bags...

[WalkingWicket37]

If you get one delivered, with the handling most couriers give things it may not even last the journey to it's owner!

Listened to the Merv Hughes article, lot of wiff waff.

Apparently according to Merv it's been in design for 4 years.....

Every time he said flip top peak, I thought of a flip top lid bin.....

Can't say I like the look of it, and it will be good to see what other manufacturers bring out. Have to say I have always been an Albion fan but am loving wearing the GM Pro Select helmet with a titanium grill this year. great vision and light weight!!

The gap looks very small + combined with the 'double bar' I dont think visibility will be great.

I told you designs would have to evolve to meet new regulations as the new BSI standard encases some serious impact speeds!

They are embracing the changes and actively looking to increase protection levels for the end user, as we have done too.

[Ayrtek Cricket]

That's ok mate, people will start to appreciate why ours is shaped like it is now and just how difficult it is for older designs to pass the new standard.

Will be interesting to know the weight and cost of that ugly duckling

Even one of the mums at junior cricket a couple of weeks ago knew that the regs are changing

Do you classify that as an evolved design 

[Twelfth Man]

If I wasn't swayed before hand, I am now. Ayrtek could be the next helmet...

[acko109]

Well looks like its ayrtek for me next year.. not sure if i can take the grief for wearing one ..

[Twelfth Man]

I think now from seeing the new snaps of this Masuri lid, I will now happily take any stick for it with it giving the best protection on the market. I think the only reason I got a Masuri was down to the look of it and that it still offered a reasonable amount of protection.

[RossViper]

Is this the best they could do?

Horrid

Like most, I don't like. But don't know how well it protects, if it's more protective - then I guess it's a good thing. Shame it couldn't be prettier.

I imagine we'll get used to it though, like we have with the plastic Albion's and how we're beginning to with Ayrtek.

Also looks like a good launch by Masuri, with most papers/Sky attending. Good PR work, not often seen in cricket.
