No plans set in stone as yet unless people are willing to pay the extra for a hand-made version as set up for low volumes as concentrating on the modern shell. All the shells will have the same ACIS liner by the end of the month which is what sammy tried on

[procricket]

so there good to rock at the end of the month the traditional one???

[Ayrtek Cricket]

No the new liner is ready at the end of the month. the traditional helmets need BSI testing yet before we can sell them to the public which means another round of testing and paperwork even though they are made from the same materials as the modern etc which should yield the same results if not better!

dont think so, the new liners are ready for end of month i think. not sure though :S

[peplow]

ahh you beat me to it! The new lining is much comfier, hopefully will make the modern one a beast!!

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Yeh should do mate moving away from an embossed finish and towards a flocked finish but as the only people in the world doing it took some time to get correct due to experimenting with things! Basically gives a velvet finish to the interior

[peplow]

Yeah is soft to feel and isn't hard so gives the helmet more room to fit my meathead in , whereas the other lining doesnt give much, this new one does

Right well guys I needed a helmet for my trip to Australia and fancied soemthing different, i contacted tom and asked about these traditionals, tom replied quickly as always and said he had two, one that had to be kept and one he could possibly part with! I pursuaded him to let me buy and he got it sprayed and delivered it around this morning with various other bits and pieces! Got the blue one from the first page. Its amazingly light and comfy, with it being a bit deeper than the modern one it fits my head better! The soft liner and pump mechanism makes it fit my head perfectly, cant wait to use it, and the first time i will will be out there i hope! I am very lucky to have it, so thanks to Tom. Hopefully i will be taking kit with me to Aus, if not i'll have to make a huge loss and give it back to Thomas which i hope is not the case, as its amazing!
