Reading the previous posts people talk about having your chin strap tight. I personally can't stand having my chin strap tight as it feels restricting when I bat. I currently use an old Masuri but I am looking for a new lid and was considering moving away from Masuri to Ayrtek.

Just wondering if this will mean I have to wear the chin strap tight all the time meaning an ayrtek isn't for me? I appreciate it's probably safest to have it tight but I really cant stand it and have to remove the cup that sits on your chin.

Buy one with a eps liner and not an acis liner.

The eps is standard style liner using pads to adjust size. Means it sits and stays other the chin strapped needing to be tight

I switched to a eps liner and prefer

How can you tighten the eps? I have a small head hence why I thought the ayrtek might suit me for fit.

There are different thicknesses of pads included - I don't know what dimensions they go from and to but given they only have one adult size they cover quite a diameter! Apart from that I think there are Junior/Youth options too.

Adult padding is 6/9 and 12mm whilst the Youth padding is 12/15 and 18mm.

Depending on the size/shape of your head the models offer the size ranges below:-

JNR- 52-55cm
Youth- 55-57cm
SNR- 58-64cm

If you  have a small head a youth size might work, cheaper too

I use the acis liner and have never had the chin tight so it can fit without it tight as I think its been about 3-4 years ive had mine and no issues
