You could apply this logic anywhere though, do you wear a stab vest at all times? No. But what if you get stabbed one day? It would have saved your life.

Don't go making assumptions now...

Think I paid 130 for my helmet. Which protects about 80% of my head and neck. This adds another 10% protection.
Yet they are charging 50 quid for it.
That's almost 30% increase in price for 10% extra protection.
Time it just far enough away so that you aren't abused by people for milking a tragedy. But soon enough to ensure you can capitalise on their fears.
Shameful masuri.

Must add, not vitas' fault. They are just doing their job.

That is $ 76 USD!!!!

How difficult would it be to fashion something out of plastic and styrofoam for under $20 USD?!

I have an issue with Masuri brand in general. The welding of their grills is very weak. One hit and welding is undone in 3 locations. Bloody titanium grill too.

Ridiculous!

The longer the debate, the more advertisement vitas get from this thread.

No debate, may equal 1 or 2 sales.

Big debate, could get you ten sales.

Win for vitas.

How much? Wow. Thats a lot of cash for a piece of foam and plastic, i'm sure it does an excellent job of protecting the neck, but not a product for everyone i wouldn't think, not at that price anyway.

Also, is a lot when you compare it to their lowest Men's Helmet which is �75, seems a bit dispropotionate to me to charge �50 for that. Maybe even oppurtunistic in trying to profit massively from effectively an admittance that their product is not up to scratch to protect you sufficiently.

Great bit of kit safety wise but I'm staggered at the price, really am.

Should be including it FOC with the lid in my opinion - it's hardly going to cost a bomb to manufacture and if it's such a vital piece of kit then why charge it as an additional?

There is no suggestion that any new BSI regulation helmets are not up to the required standard. The latest safety test does not examine potential neck injuries at all. The new safety test was designed to address facial impacts.

I personally feel Masuri have reacted very quickly to a tragic and freak accident, quick turnaround and R&D costs of course contribute to the price.

I don't think it has been suggested as being vital. If it was vital or they were admitting that the helmet alone isn't safe enough then they would be only selling helmets with fixed stemguards from now onwards.

This is an add-on for those who want it.

will these fit on any of the older style grilles?

I suspect not, but will investigate.

Haven't had a new Masuri helmet returned yet, and no feedback in the trade that the grilles are failing. The grilles are made round the corner from us by a very professional company.

Are you referring to the old style Masuri helmets, made in India?

It's the old style one, not the new Vision series. I don't know where it is made.

Still, a titanium grill so easily undone? I had to play $50 USD to buy a replacement titanium grill.

I can't comment really on the old style helmets, we haven't had any stock for about 18 months. Being a new retailer i was less clued into feedback from the trade back then, but i have taken a lot of impacts on my own old style titanium WK helmet over the years and it is still intact, fingers crossed.

It's not on the trade list, i think the yellow one is just a prototype in a striking colour to highlight the features. If you really want a yellow one i'll try and pull some strings

That's strange, I spotted this on Twitter and they say yellow will be available.
I'm assuming that Masuri either plan to add it to their range, or simply forgot to remove it from their Press Release on the product.

The StemGuard will be available to purchase in August across five colours; navy, green, maroon, black and yellow. All leading cricket retailers will be stocking the StemGuard to compliment the market leading Vision Series range of helmets.

What's the weight of the Stemgaurd?

Vitas Cricket · « **Reply #26 on:** May 07, 2015, 12:44:30 PM »

Masuri have described it as 'very light' but are putting it on some scales for me now.

To confirm, yellow is also available

WalkingWicket37 · « **Reply #27 on:** August 11, 2015, 01:39:33 PM »

Any update on these Jake?

Vitas Cricket · « **Reply #28 on:** August 11, 2015, 01:48:52 PM »

Masuri are aiming for 1st week of Sept, if not earlier.
