Proper ugly duckling in my opinion, and that grill looks awe full





Ayrtek it is for my next helmet

Lost a lot of its 'traditional' looking charm.

That can't be real! It is disgusting.

[The_Bird]

I actually quite like them...


*braces himself*

[Abighugeappl]

What on earth is that!!? 
Looks disgusting

[Colesy]

Think they've altered an aging design to comply with new rules rather than go back to the drawing board.

[Kez]

I am actually lost for words!

[Ryan]

WOW, what a load of rubbish!!

I cant see anyone wanting to buy that!

[the little ripper]

are Albion also changing their design?

I would imagine so, the new regulations are quite strict. Talk to Tom at Ayrtek for more details on what they entail. But the basics are the peak must now be much much stronger, to prevent a ball pushing it up and squeezing into the gap. THe grille is also not allowed to be adjusted by the user to have a gap wide enough to allow a ball through.

[Butterfingerz]

Well thats a looker then!

Dont wee why the peak couldnt be cloth covered! All forum sponsors start selling lids, no one will buy this!!!

[Vitas Cricket]

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.

[Buzz]

That isn't a space age design, it looks like something from the 70's/80's

The plastic albion lids will be the biggest winner from this I think.
