Im looking to buy a good helemt and came accross this linting while shopping...

http://www.flipkart.com/slazenger-pro-cricket-helmet/p/itmdtkprwypaqhp7?pid=HLMDCG9EXQUJTXFW&otracker=from-search&srno=t_6&query=slazenger+helmet&ref=5e145d44-cb63-4203-a710-5563e276cbae

Do u guys this this is a genuine slazenger helmet? ( by looking at the sticker on the side grill)
Also, I play for club level cricket..  do u guys this this would be a good option?

I know slazenger have produced helmets that are very similar to masuri and this looks legit imo, the helmet would be an excellent option for club cricket as like I say they were made by masuri and going of the description it has a titanium grill. However since the new helmet law is coming out you might be better going for one of them as they are supposed to be safer

Hey bud..

thnx for the info.. whats the new helmet law?
also if does the helemt shown in the link look legit?

Your welcome, and basically the new helmet law is being set in place to stop balls from penetrating through the peak, by bending it, and smashing you in the face...this is due to a few injuries that has occurred on the international and domestic club and county scene; however I'll be using a helmet that doesn't comply with the new laws as I've never had any trouble with it and generally keep a small gap between the grill and shell anyways. Yes the helmet does look legit, however you can never be to sure
So if I was you I'd wait to see if anyone has used that site before and can approve it's authenticity

Please note -  the new helmet standards are not law.  You are allowed to sell old helmets.  The difference is that they don't meet the new safety standard tests that include stopping a ball penetrating between the peak and grill at 67mph or some similar number.

It looks legit and flipkart is one of india's largest online retailers carrying wide variety of goods and are not limited to sports.

The reason why i thought its not original slazenger helmet is because the stricker on the grill has SLAZENGER written on it.. i thought the original helmet has slazenger symbol on the grill.. is it not?

It might be a junior helmet based on the description.

Flipkart is a reputable company and won't sell fakes.

Ah right I thought retailers had to send old stock back to masuri or albion etc, cheers for the info Tim!
