Would be good to get some feedback as to whether our CBF members would pay £50 for the guard?

If you send me one free of charge (along with a titanium lid to Fit it to) I'll give feedback as to if its worth the money  ;)

Seems expensive as one can get a good helmet for that price ..so for an accessory to be cost close to the price of original product itself ...for sure sounds pricey
49.99 to prevent a serious head injury ...if you look at it that way its worth it
Its a new product and has this been tested completely and is it reliable...not sure
for sure there will be cheaper options coming out from other manufacturers.

As you asked, my view is that it seems about £20 too expensive - even at £30 it feels expensive. I appreciate that there is a fair amount of design and involved - and I think the design looks pretty good personally. I also appreciate that you are seeking to protect an otherwise unprotected and vulnerable area. for the time being I won't be jumping in to buy one. Much like apple products - it pays not to buy the first one and wait until second or third editions are made.

My suspicion is that in time when numbers and a market can be established economies of scale can be used better to bring the price down - but in the mean time...

Max I'd pay is £30 and I'm a religious helmet wearer, I wouldn't ever bat without a lid on but then my current helmet didn't cost me £150 already...

Masuri Stem Guard
« Reply #10 on: May 06, 2015, 06:00:39 PM »
Some very interesting comments and valid points. The stem guard is an addition to the helmet, so at £50 we also feel the price is rather steep.

We were initially under the impression that there was to be one standard guard for all the helmets, however from the information received today, it would appear that we have a variety of colours and model types.

We will discuss this with Masuri and hopefully have some further clarification.

Very expensive for club/amateur cricketers, but Masuri need to make money somewhere after giving away thousands of helmets to professional players..

An update on this:

Each model in the Masuri range (Club/Test/Elite) will have its own stem guard with one standard size.

Delivery will be in August so we are still some time away from stocks being available.

I refuse to believe Giles would call them 'the formula one of helmets' without some form of inducement!
