Quick update from our website on the feautres of the helmet that helped keep out the delivery

Barker Bouncer not a Problem Posted on 19 Sep,2010
Keith Barker took an 84mph bouncer to the face in yesterday CB40 final from Alfonso Thomas but shook it off without any issue due to the fact he was wearing his ACIS Elite helmet. In the words of David "Bumble" Lloyd....

"That new style probably saved him there, not sure the older ones would have done the job"

footage of this blow can be seen in the video below.....and in our gallery section

Ayrtek unique design features helped him avoud any form of injury, unlike Kieron Pollard who have to leave the field for Somerset a few weeks ago.

    * The 4 point chin strap stablised the helmet upon impact, where as a single attachement at either side would have pivoted.
    * The grill (made from grade 5 titanium) absorbed the impact and transferred the energy into thhe flares at the side of the helmet acted to stop the helmet deforming sideways and brigning the grill towards Keiths face.
    * The rib which reenforces the peak of the helmet acted to keep the shell rigid and performed as per BSI and Simpact testing theory.
    * The ACIS aided the fit of the helmet on Keiths head so that it wasnt loose fitting and kept him protected.

Thats some great free marketing for you. Really couldn't have planned anything better than that with all the marketing guru's money can buy.

haha yeah wouldnt really sit there sitting and hoping for someone to wear a bouncer but having had it happen its silly not to capitalise upon the marketing of it

[johnnyw]

I struggle to believe the thought has never crossed your mind

[Wills]

tom can you show us a pic of a normal warks ayrtek helmet.
and a pic of barker's ayrtek after the incident.
i want to see how much damage happened.

thanks

[Ayrtek Cricket]

Haha not really as wouldn't want to see anyone get hurt....got to be confident in tje prdouct though and I think it has passed the test now

If/when the helmet comes back I can have a look and see then.

2010/11 kit will be up once we have proper pictures done you lot are just lucky and getting an early preview of it all. Did upload some pics to the website gallery earlier though!

[Ayrtek Cricket]

I don't think you will actually see any damage looking at the video of it...

[Colesy]

I doubt there is damage as it just smashed into the grill, not the actual lid.
