If players people want fashion over function when choosing a safety product then that's entirely upto them, when I play the game it's not my livelihood and profession at stake should I get injured.

yeah ! You are right on one point . But if you are getting both , i guess thats super !!!! So maybe internation players are getting both and they are ofcourse the better judge's .

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Not really, why do u think Masuri have had to go back and re-design the helmet?

It is was so "safe" and capable of passing the new BSI standard Masuri wouldn't have spent time and resources designing and developing a new range that is capable of passing the new standard. The old if it ain't broke don't fix it saying springs to mind.

Anyway I wish Shrey good luck with their venture if taking on the model.

I think you are high

[Cricketforlove13]

actually , now i see a contact between your replies and your username . I think Masuri can better answer you on that . yeah ! i am high on holidays .

Iv spoken to their MD and we have attended bsi meetings with him and all the other major helmet manufacturers about it so I'm fully aware of all the changes that are coming and what's required to pass them

Didn't see any representative from Shrey there though?

Personally I could never wear one of those new age funny looking helmets either. 

BSI standard or not-  a well fitted good quality shrey or last year style Masuri is great protection. Let's not forget we are talking club cricket.  Guys have been using those helmets at international level for so long .....all of a sudden they are not good enough and even dangerous! Nanny state and more rules !

The issue, if there is any, is with poor quality super cheap helmets or helmets which have been fitted incorrectly.

I don't think he's high....deluded maybe?

[procricket]

I will be completely honest if there worn at first class and test level there good enough for me plain and simple it will be interesting to see a price.

I have used almost ever helmet on the market from Forma to Ayrtek and these look decent as well i have no worries about using one if i get one..

I like them in the way i liked the old Masuri and there a growing number of International players using them

No need to panic mate.

Those Shrey people can make anything. Have ordered (10 or so helmets) from them before.

Mate, I have already contacted Shrey.

GREAT guys!

My club will likely order 20 of them...Masuri's loss is Shrey's gain.

Nanny state crap in the UK can go to hell.

We are not obligated to even wear helmet's in Oz, so I doubt that their specs will even be considered here.

Shrey will take over the helmet market by the middle of 2014. Masuri will be bankrupt within two years as their product will be boycotted, and the other marginal brands will remain just that, marginal.

Shrey are the right guys at the right place at the right time.

God bless the Kohli brothers and their foresight.

The forum has gotten weird

[thecord]

It's amazing how resistant to change people are. I wonder if the first helmets, first split finger gloves, first webbed keeping gloves etc provoked such strong reactions?

[Cricketforlove13]

Maybe the coming change is not giving people any motivation to change . Maybe the current product is still better for them . Ofcourse people has shifted quickly from Nokia to Iphone but Iphone has to be better from all the aspects . Performance , weight , looks . Very less people goes for samsung as these phones are bulky looking and Uphone is still smart and thin .

Hi Cricketforlove. if you have a relationship with Shrey like working for them, I think disclosing it would be fairer on members.

the reality is people are resistant to change and in a load of cases the masuri style lid has been acceptable.

as the older style masuri lids become extinct in the uk, where most of the forum followers are, there will have to different options used, regardless of the so called "nanny state" rules. the new style masuri lids aren't a patch on the other options out there in the uk currently.

unfortunately for you Shrey lids aren't an option now

[Cricketforlove13]

I guess in that case many of the people commenting here have a relationship with shrey and noone even clearly knows the story behind shrey . Its just a discussion nothing personal . Why are we taking things personal now . We all are just giving our own views . After the holidays you wont even see me commenting here as i will be busy at work again . But the reality is as other pepole said here , masuri old style and shrey's helmets is something which is popular amongst the cricket players .
