Shrey designed the most popular helmet ever worn in cricket

They are working towards the nessasary standards to continue this.

They are the same helmet as most of you wear now.

Hate to go over old ground but which a different badge on the back they where good enough for to then and good enough for a lot of proffesionals.

They did not design it they surely manufactured to masuri design and specifications?? And have now decided to sell it as there own... Will be interesting to see how the market progresses! And if they can carry on

[procricket]

Good point I guess they didn't design it it keep using it good design it is.

Do you work for cotton or masuri in any capacity I have always used masuri from the reinforced polastyrene type to the current version

Shrey contacted me a while ago looking to sell helmets to me directly... Not sure what's happened to Masuri but yes shrey are the ones who make the Masuri lids..

It's just because people aren't used to seeing Shrey as the brand, I find it odd how there is this Shrey-phobia, while the same thing is done with bats... I've never used Masuri before, so can't really comment on Shrey, but seems like the helmet design is good, perhaps not as safe as Ayrtek, but it must be good enough if forum members here used to swear by them! I've used Albion, Readers and GM in the past, but none of them can compare to my Ayrtek, I just love my Ayrtek too much.

The Shrey family are the Kholi's who as some might know are BAS and also a sister clothing company TK Sports.

They have a big heratige in the cricket industry and I know Raghav will correct me I think 3rd generation cricket and clothing vendors and inventors.

There no doubting there pedigree and quality and there a very well respected group of people.

It only takes one dodgy bounce or one top edge for that to end in disaster.
You're braver than me mate (and probably a better batsman if you don't worry about it!)

I think it's an age thing mate. I'm nearer 40 than 30 and grew up in an era were as a junior you didn't have to wear a helmet, so never got used to wearing one and now would feel odd wearing one.
I have played at an ok level (Hants county 1) for the last 10ish years and never felt at risk without a helmet on.
I think some people play at a level where they need one. I think a lot of people wear one because people on telly do.

[Steveo1000]

I would add that anyone under the age of 25 has probably been forced to wear one as a junior, are used to wearing one, and as a result are as comfortable wearing one as I am wearing a cap.

No I do not work for cotton?? Or masuri. Why do you ask? So you work for asda?

[procricket]

Not sure you only have posted on this thread and welcome to the forum mate by the way.

Asda no I can't afford that.

I must say i'm not knocking the new masuri either looks ok to me as do most helmets i just will be wearing Shrey it the style of helmet I like

Bar stiching  the label on the back there is no difference to the masuri helmets bar nothing

If you will imagine the softs vendor New Grayhound they produce the same just different logos the quality will be the same if the same person made them with the same meterials.

Sorry to New Grayhound but a couple of the forum sponsor use them and maybe you can spot them too

This post sums it up perfectly.

In his autobiography, Matty Hayden said that debating which batting gloves are better is pointless as "most are made in the same factories".

As for helmets, if the Shrey deviated from the Masuri in even the most minute way, you can bet that the 20 odd international players already wearing them, would not.

It IS a pointless debate, as consumers will vote with their feet (and wallets). My guess is that when it comes time to deciding, most punters will do what they have always done in the past - gone with whatever their favourite player is wearing.

If that is the case (and I suspect it will be), Shrey will be a huge brand as they already have a large number of former Masuri wearing test players promoting their product. Once the Australian and English players start wearing them (surely not long now), this thread will be quietly locked down and no one will be prepared to admit that they slated Shrey.

Whatever you choose to wear on your bonce for this and future summers, enjoy your cricket.
