I don't think there's any legislation saying that the older helmets can't be used at club level, just that the newer ones offer a different level of protection. I suspect parents will demand that clubs provide the safest helmets though...

Yes I have experience of demanding parents 

They will be directed to the Ayrtek website

Masuri Vision Series helmet

Some interesting footage and graphics regarding the ball entering the gap between peak and grille, or not as is the case with the new model.

Thanks for the video Jake. Proves the point I was suggesting earlier and works exactly as I was expecting.

Would the design of the fielding grille not have worked?? That had a bar directly under the peak, so would something similar not work for batting??

It's just been released today. Don't reckon people will have it instock/ bought one just yet mate

You're all misunderstanding me, I was asking about the CURRENT lid that they're all wearing on the telly (elite?) compared to the classic one that everyone has had since about 1994

Ultimately there isn't much difference between the new model released a year ago (the elite) and the classic Masuri (the test) in terms of the type of protection highlighted by the new regulations. Both lids allow the ball to penetrate the gap between peak and grille. The elite offers more coverage to the ears/part of the neck (not far from the impact Watson sustained) due to the griles sweeping design.

And but for a few minor changes over the years, the shell is the same as it has always been.

Interesting contrast with the new Gray Nics lids which i assumed, but now am not so sure, met the new regulations. They have certainly changed the grille in terms of being unable to adjust it, and the peak is reinforced with carbon fibre or similar as i saw one without the cloth covering.

The BS standard stamp in the GN photo looks like it has a 1990s date on it, if they met the new BS regs presume they would have BS 7928 2013 stamp on display

Good spot.

Good spot, I agree, although it is difficult to say you comply to a British Standard which hasn't been published yet/is still in draft form.

That's true.
Seems Masuri have taken the extreme option with their helmet upgrades if GN can comply to the new regs by strengthening the peak slightly and it looks like heavier duty horizontal wires on the grille. Maybe Masuri have similar less extreme upgrades in store for their lower end helmets, that haven't been released yet.

Being a Masuri user, I nearly vomited when I saw that new design.

There is NO WAY I will ever buy one of those disgusting designs.

As someone else already mentioned, I am going to be treating my two Masuri's with extreme care from now on.

So from the start of the new season juniors will not be allowed to wear the old style helmets anymore, they will have to wear one of the 2014 ones.

I don't know why but I like this helmet !
