New old-style Masuri helmets
« on: December 30, 2016, 11:30:41 AM »
Anyone taken the plunge on one of these yet? They're £125 in All Rounder sale, which is cheapest I've seen so far.

I'm not complaining, but I'm puzzled how a new product for the 2017 season can be included in the end of 2016 sale ??? :-[

125 on sale? :(  I wonder what's happened to helmet sales since the new regs came in and prices went through the roof. Certainly haven't seen many of the new Masuris about over the last two seasons.

I still see a fair few of the older style masuri helmets around. They was the best in the business for 20 odd years so must have been ok

I got one off Jake before Christmas, not netted in it yet but I like the fit. I'd previously struggled to get on with any of the new style helmets

What's the weight of these? Bought one of the new ones before and it weighed a ton

Not sure on weight @Red Ink Cricket - but tried one on at vitas recently and felt great, much better than the other sort

Not weighed it but holding my steel version OS against my masterclass Air ti there is not much difference in weight, and it fits much much better the the shrey too.

anyone willing to do a review of the OS2 helmets? seems "too good to be true" almost? as light as shrey, but as hefty as the VS?

Well it's single shell design like the shrey as opposed to the double shell design of the vision series helmets, so in theory you aren't getting as much protection against concussion and generally hits to the shell of the helmet as you would with the twin shell design. That said it's still passed the British Standards test and you have the peace of mind that it's been made in the U.K. With excellent quality control compared to the somewhat questionably quality control of the Shrey

Going to buy one closer to the start of the season, it looks like a fantastic helmet.

makes sense, thank you @tom line . and have you noticed a difference in sizing/fit given that the new ones don't have the adjuster at the back?

Sorry @brokenbat I don't actually have one, those things I mentioned are just what I've picked up from here and videos of the helmets, the helmet I'll be using next year will be a £7 shrey
