I won an ayrtek helmet signed by Stuart Broad of twitter. How much is that worth?

On it's own.. £150. With broads paw print.. £10 and a packet of smokey bacon crisps.

Interesting - I'm in need of a new lid since the foam lining of my old one has fallen out...Was thinking about the Masuri but not with that extra weight. Anyone seen one of the new Albion ones with the slimmer grill?
They're good mate. I have the Albion Classic (Cloth helmet with a Steel Grille). Sit's very nicely and feels good. Also, great for vision clearance. I've also got an Eliite (Plastic helmet with titanium grille) in a different colour. Both are fantastic and I hardly notice I'm wearing them.

Was lucky enough to get one last week.

Not used it yet but first impressions are good. Only down side is that it is heavier than my old masuri which has a steel grill but as I don't get to bat for very long I dint think it will be a problem. On the plus side it is very comfy,

My helmet gets turfed as soon as the openers are off for the baggy. If it was that comfy I'd probably keep it on.  Gives you some idea about the standard of comp we play in these days.

There's a part of me that thinks on English wickets, the lower the standard, the more likely I am to wear a helmet! Can't remember the last time a bouncer got up enough that I felt my head was in danger. I wear a helmet all the time btw.

Beamers are probably more of an issue for the majority.. Oh and edging it yourself :)

So can that grill be removed, looks like it's riveted?

Just thought I will update this instead of starting a new thread.

I have tried that Masuri Vision Series Elite Titanium in a 20 minute net yesterday. And some observations below:-

1. Not sure why it is called Vision as Vision is actually worse in this series, I could not find a setting without having the grill right in front of my eyes but the gaps in the grill design are a bit wider so that helps a bit. I reckon Vision is better in Ayrtek.
2. Weight is just a hair over 2lb, few ounces heavier than the Surridge Youth Helmet I have been using but fits a lot better than Ayrtek on my head.
3. Comfort and Air Flow have definitely been improved and the lining is of much better quality. I did not sweat as much and normally I have sweat pouring from head.
4. Build Quality in my experience is like no other and is certainly very top notch.

To summarise this is a decent helmet, not sure if it justifies the price tag of £160 [I didn't pay that] and is certainly going to take some getting used to purely because of the grill design. I am tempted to give it a some more time before pursuing on the hunt for perfect helmet once again.

Interesting summary.  Thanks.  I don't suppose this was the Senior Large, which I'm trying to track down for a test drive.

Mens Standard

It has an adjustable thing at the back and feel a bit on the larger size so I will suggest you try it in a shop first and get the correct size for you.
