There won't be any slazenger helmets in their current incarnation, they have a license deal with masuri and will almost certainly adopt the new masuri vision series designs.

Shrey won't pass the safety test, so no retailer will sell them in the UK. if they did pass the test there would be no need for masuri to redesign their range.

Exactly this. Anyone can say "there good enough for pros" or "I have no issue and shall use mine" but to me it all means nothing.

Masuri was the helmet to have, the higher percentage of pros used them, and nearly all clubbies you see had one. So if it could pass the test, or was easily altered to pass the test. Would any off you truly believe masuri would walk away so easily?

They know it is not upto standard, and hence them moving on to a new design. I trust them on the decision, so I too am moving on, and excepting that helmet will no longer be available.

It's still gutting though... the masuri/shrey/slazenger is the only helmet that my schwad fits in and now I fear I'll look like a budget Robocop, and be unable to see anything.....

As cam says, just buy one or two spares once there in the £20 bargain bucket, and that should do you for most your life.


Or atleast until they make a new one that fits your bonce and you can see out of.

Might end up like trigger's broom - "I've had the same helmet for 30 years - it's only had 3 new grills and two new shells..."

Surely it would be illegal for companies to sell the old product (the one that we like) due to safety regulations?

It isn't necessarily illegal to sell it, but it is unlikely to be covered by public liability insurance, so you wouldn't want to sell it.

I've just been flicking through my Morrant catalogue and they seem to have two different styles of Masuri lid, one with the double bar and one without.

You can have one that looks gash, or one that looks gash and you can't see out of it, great...

I love how the catalogue pic is so dark so you cant see the dodgy plastic halo ring thing.

Yes they have been on our website for weeks now. I believe i raised this topic a while back. Appreciate you may not have seen it though.

The 2 cheaper models do not have the double bar, and my reading of the way things work is that the gap between the peak and grille on these models is much smaller in order to meet the regulations.

But of course no-one really knows until we receive stock, which was supposed to be by the end of February.....

I know a few here object to the look of this helmet but, as an old codger who's finally decided I ought to start wearing a helmet, I come to it without any preconceptions. I'm really keen to try one before deciding which helmet to settle on, and a bit frustrated that its release keeps getting put back.  Does anyone know, definitively, when it will be available to try?  Thanks.
