Which helmet £50-£60
« on: July 31, 2015, 11:19:57 AM »

What is the best helmet I can get within this price range? Personally I would like Masuri or Shrey but don't want to compromise on quality for the name sake.

I'm in the market for 2 helmets and I'm looking to buy

Suggestions please

Thanks

This one comes in below budget and a couple of people on here have bought one I think

Yes, i am not sure the difference between that and the icon geo which I have.

Better with a titanium grille if you can get one, masuri and ayrtek fit. There is a gm one that Jake is selling too.

So this is what I have ended up with.
GM Icon geo (not the cheaper sports direct model) with the ti grille from my old lid.

I can't force a ball through the gap which is good.
Weight wise, the gm lid is heavier and I haven't got it as comfortable on my head yet, but visibility is really good.
With the gm grille it is really pretty heavy.





I went with this due to price and the ability to change the grille. Plus it is apparently good enough for international cricket. Although no one would bowl a bouncer at Shane Watson so it would be difficult to know for sure!

I couldn't see a difference between the icon and Zona helmets other than one being the sports direct branding. More importantly, the SD one has the 2013 British standard compliance for £25 which seems like a bargain to me.
