Only a reasonably basic picture so far, actual images of products will follow as they arrive in stock, but heres the Masuri alternative i think many of those considering Shrey will appreciate.

Any ideas on the price Jake?

Looked at 2 Shrey Pro-Guard's in Serious Cricket today, and neither of them had any cracking in the areas outlined in previous posts.
Both looked and felt well made

I know they aren't the same models as the helmets in previous posts, but you would think that it there is a problem if wouldn't be isolated to just 1 model

My club has about 25 or so Shrey users . I am trying to slowly work my way through sussing out as many lids as possible .
So far .....
3 x titanium masterclass air . 2 with visible cracking , 1 without .
2 x steel pro guard . 1 with the worst cracking ive ever seen . 1 without .
1 x steel performance. No cracking but the owner says he can hear something rattling around in the lid . Also the grille looks a little asymmetrical / wonky . The owner reckons he noticed this before ever using it , but it doesn't bother him .
So far 6 helmets , 4 with issues.....not looking good so far .
I must say , when you see these cracks in photos it doesn't do it justice - in real life it looks a bit scary .

Wonder what their UK distributor has to say as many of these helmets must have gone to the retailers through them. Let us hope all these comments will compel them to improve their QC processes.

Or, they have already recognized the issue.

We sent a lot back last season.

I had the Masuri Vision elite Ti but found it heavy and didn't like the tightening functions.
I sold it and went for a Shrey Masterclass air Ti. When I opened the box the weld was already broken where the front bars attach to the side or the grille.
I sent it back and swapped it for another.
The build is very shabby, the stickers peeled off after about 3 uses and so did the strap cover on the back of the helmet.
I haven't checked for the cracked areas mentioned previously, I will have a look this week.
I will be looking at this new Masuri Test for sure.

With the new Masuri, I can see the grille has changed but is is still in the same position (i.e sticking out a long way in front of the face)?

I must have my grille almost touching my nose, it's why i stick with the older models, but i would like to renew at some stage.

Is there a reason why the grilles can't be adjusted fore and aft, I understand the up/down adjustment requirements, but fore/aft movement can't be an issue?

They are fixed in position so that they pass testing as the headform is fitted with a "no contact zone". When the ball hits the grille at 64mph it inevitably forces it backwards towards this zone or the chin of the headform which if either are struck would be deemed a failure.

By aligning the further away from these zones it means less chance of them being struck when being subjected to testing. The lab would take a helmet and set it to what would be deemed the likeliest settings for failure (worst case scenario settings) so this is why brands have fixed them to only 1 settings so this isn't an issue.

Oh this looks really nice, will have to try this on at some point as my current Masuri (the old old style one) has always felt kinda small on my head. I'd like to try an Ayrtek on as well, does anyone know of any shops that sell them rather than buying directly from them?

Really good post! I have always played with Forma and I have been very happy with them. Actually Protech (parent company of Forma) makes bike helmets in India and they have been in this business for a very long time. If you see closely, many brads are getting their helmets made by them (look at the designs closely and you will know).

The story is - Kiran More (former India wicketkeeper) has stakes in the company and the original helmet was designed by Sachin Tendulkar many years back. Today they take feedbacks from many India players. No wonder more than half of Indian team uses Forma.
