Does the new OS2 helmet not have the same tightening mechanism as the vision series then? Is it more like the old masuri with the Velcro at the back?!

No and no! :)
It is similar to the GN helmets in that it's not adjustable, so either fits or it doesn't.

I am a standard size in the Vision Series, but needed a large in the OS2 (Jake said he is the same) so the sizing isn't quite so generous in the OS2

So there no extra Velcro pads of different sizes Like in the ayrtek ones?

I think Jake said you can bodge it with the Vision Series padding to change the fit, but not officially, no.

Well that's poor.

I was hoping to find one in a sale, but looks like I deffo need to try before I buy on these.

There is official Masuri padding yes, large was a little to big for me so Masuri sent out some thicker padding which worked a treat

Second net with my OS2 today, batted for 30mins with no heat/sweating problems. This is very unusual for me!! I like this far better than the old style. I literally forget I'm wearing it. As for the fit, I got a couple of extra foams from Jake and sorted it out with ease.

Got it before retailers then as that's not something I was aware of

Surely a selection should just come with the lid?

I'm not sure if they charge or what, but it's just seems a pain to have got a helmet then have to contact Masuri and get another product to make it fit.

Going forward padding like the picture above will be available on masuri display stands in retailers, we currently have the original vision series swoopabands and sizing foams, as well as the pro foam variants, originally masuri said there were no sizing foams for the original series. It it appears this isn't the case so they will be in Stock soon enough.

I tweeted Masuri saying the medium was too small and large too big on the OS2. So they sent out the thinner and thicker foam to my local shop (Owzat) free of charge for me to try.
Ended up going with large after trying it with thicker foam.

Super thats great to know sizing foam is on the way. Haven't had a service issue with Masuri, they are always happy to help with any kind of request.
