Over the last couple of months I've managed to somehow (not unlike me!!) purchase more than 1 helmet, and now I'm stuck on what to do....

I've got a
Large navy masuri
Large blue Albion
Large black Albion ultimate 98

All 3 are brand new, except the titanium grill for the Albion with no cloth and in truth I like them all. But.... I'm now considering selling them all and treating myself to a Masuri VS Elite, I'm just not sure.

What would you do

Masuri's don't conform to the latest specs and you don't want to ruin what's left of your looks do you?

None of those lids do, unless I'm missing your point here, sorry if so

Albion don't? Wasn't sure as the peak is reinforced.

None of those comply, some were failing at 30mph when we were shown videos as a committee at L'boro when discussing the spec of the new safety standard.

Oh Redders, you helmet!

Should be ok in our league then, not sure many get above 30mph or even bounce once

Sorry for the tangent here. Been thinking of a topic/time to post this in, but never got round to it.

Young lad in the net recently, wearing an old style non compliant helmet. 35 mph, grille wasn't on the narrowest setting but was certainly far from the widest too. Straight through and bruised his cheek. Quite an eye opening thing to have happen in front of you, especially when you read countless posts on the forum about club cricket bowling not being quick enough to breach the gap on an old style helmet.

35mph. Literally underarm lobs.

@fromthehip saw it, it wasn't a big incident and the kid actually carried on with his net, but what if the machine was at 45mph, or 55mph?

[GoldenArm]

@Ayrtek so do none of the new masuri's comply?

[uknsaunders]

If Redders didn't have the head size of an ant, then a masuri would be too small for him and he could buy a decent helmet like an Ayrtek.

Masuri Vision series complies, the labelling reflects the updated safety standard.

Sorry to go off topic! all the helmets that comply to the latest safety standard (BS7928:2013) are listed here by the ECB:-

Jake, the grills can be set to a certain gap but you cant guarantee that one ball is the same shape as the next so it could fit through a gap that another ball would have been kept out of.

30mph is still fast enough to cause enough pain for me!
