The grill really suits that Masuri!

How much would one of those old grills be in titanium as I've got an old style Masuri?

This is our Titanium grille on a older style Masuri lid, (obv new Masuri are fixed grille anyway)

Using these settings gives a 40mm gap which is prob the best option to reduce ball/peak penetration risk given the peak flex on these models.

I have an old style Masuri lid.

How is the visibility of these grills? I never liked the Masuri visibility .

I'm gonna measure the gap on my current steel grill as this could be a viable option at getting a titanium grill

Sorry to hijack the thread but can't get on with my Ayrtek; all I can see is the grille with it on! If that makes sense. Does it get easier after a few wears? I've worn my Masuri Ti for a good 5 years now so maybe I'm just very used to that?
My period for returning is running out and in 2 minds what to do...

Can vouch for the Ayrtek! Bough in the January offer (Very good offer) and as a previous non helmet wearer I was really nervous about starting to wear one, but vision through it is great and very light, fits my giant conk really well too.

It does take time. Had my second net with the new lid yesterday and am getting there now. Like with most things it takes some getting used to but I'm sure with time will be fine.

I also got the Premiertek off Tom for a very good price but as its my first helmet I can't offer a comparison other than to say at my first net session last week I was very happy with it. Vision was my main concern but soon got used to it. Chin strap may need a bit more thought  / mod especially when you get sweaty as it tended to slip up off my chin other than that, fine.

hahahahaha nailed yourself with an attempted scoop, good on ya

that's the reason I bought one as well, so could practice scoops and sweeps, unfortunately the lids a little too tight for my massive head

I am with you on the head size. I tried the helmet without any of the straps and it was still a tight fit. @Ayrtek => Any plans to offer an extra large size helmet :D ??

The adult liner without any padding has an inner circumference of just over 64cm, customers with a bigger head than this typically end up with the air liner option as its can be adjusted beyond this size.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is air liner option ? Is that a different helmet model or is it an option which i should specify when buying ?

@sanredrose yes sorry it's an alternative liner option we produced in a different model helmet previously. It's uses air to offer a bespoke fit to the user and was what we used across all our helmets back in 2012 before pairing up with adidas at which point it was only used in the very top end model.

Thanks @Ayrtek. So if my understanding is correct then air liner fit is offered in AyrZero & RawTek models ?

No it was just in the RawTek model, we had to create the AdiZero as some Pros couldn't grasp the concept of having to inflate the liner to get it to fit rather than just putting something straight on their head. 😳
