Different angles and some bold claims in this photo... Under 600g? That might get some people interested despite the looks.
As of 16th February it hasn't passed the test though. I could make a helmet made of paper thats the lightest in the world, but it won't do anyone much good to wear it, an extreme example i know but the point is relevant. Shrey started off with some extremely bold claims about their original design and have since had to bodge on loads of extra features to get it through the test.
Albion have a long road to get back to where they were. If this helmet does pass the test, they have at least a year or so where they will go through what Masuri went through; negative reaction to the looks. Combined with the fact that many pro players have recently been forced to change by their counties/international boards, are they going to want to do so again? Spend all that time at nets getting used to another change?
Specifically in the UK they will face the obstacle of their distributor. Maybe we are an isolated case but they used to use a distributor that we had a superb relationship with, the same guys who distribute TON. When Albion switched to another company our whole experience was awful, incorrect orders (colours/sizes/quantities all wrong) were a regular theme as were completely wrong invoices and multiple attempts to deliver to us but at an address in Croydon?! Woeful.
