ECB Official 2008 Adidas England Cricket Sun Hat : Beware the Sun

Advantages: good protection, looks good
Disadvantages: prefer white version to reflect sun better, sweat

...to be fair, with the ECB logo does look pretty cool. From my point of view the downside ( due to a bald head no doubt ) is the fact that whilst wearing it there can be a build up of sweat around the rim on a very hot day! This can be very irritable and uncomfortable. The white version of this product is definetly preferable due to sun reflective quality and therefore the ability to keep cool ...

MASURI TITANIUM - A Review

Advantages: Lightweight, Strong, Adjustable and Comfortable.
Disadvantages: Price tag

...the best feature of the Masuri Titanium is how light it is. This helped me keep my head still when playing shots and moving my head into line with ease. There was additionally a significant reduction in the number of neck injuries I suffered in comparison with older helmets. The strength of the helmet has been tested on numerous occasion withstanding direct blows to the grille and glancing blows to the headpiece while wicket-keeping, with only superficial ...
...In terms of comfort the Masuri Titanium has an adjustsble velcro strap and achin strap with foam padding. These are both great at keeping the structure close to the head with no movement when running as well as allowing for 'onesize fits all'. The cushion at the brow of the helmet collects any sweat which can form during a long, hard innings and the holes in the top help condition the head preventing overheating. The helmet has moulded its shape ...

Review of Masuri Test

Gunn and Moore

Advantages: Equipment
Disadvantages: Bats

...review is not just about Gunn and Moore helmet I find disgussing and purchasing cricket equipment a very interesting subject. I personally play cricket at a reasonably high level and have therefore used many items of equipment, produced by different brands. I have also been offered various sponsorship deals and am now astute to what equipment would be reccommenedable. I will be looking at a very stylish brand gunn and moore and analysing their ...
...most brand - ENJOY! Gunn and Moore is a truly magnificent brand whixh I would say focussed more on producing high quality protective equipment - to be honest top of the range in terms of the cricketing equipment circuit. I would personally say that the bats that Gunn and Moore produce, aren't of the highest standard! However, I must say now, that I rate Gunn and Moore as the best brand. My number one brand taking everything into account ...

Review of Gunn & Moore Diamond Helmet

steel or titanium

Advantages: lighter, makes you bat better to justify the cost
Disadvantages: cost

...am now onto my 3rd Masuri and its the best on the market once you have got the foam pads in the correct position for you its so easy to wear and this latest one has the titanium grill and for my money it is well worth the extra. My first 2 and the C&D that I had before that all had steel grills and I could never see the point of the extra expence of the titanium grill until now, having had a good start to the season personally I am realy noticing ...
...than I remember last year with the steel grill. Perhaps its psycological and I am trying to justify the extra expence but I do honestly feel better and even if it is only in my head I am more than happy that I took the plunge and spent the extra cash. I usually sell my helments on to the juniors at our club and already have a waiting list for this one. ...

Review of Masuri Test

Must be worn to be believed!

Advantages: Brilliant design, light, strong
Disadvantages: Quite expensive.

This helmet may be one of the most expensive helmets on the market but it is the most expensive for a reason! I believe the first designs of the helmet were designed by the England test player Robin Smith, with a focus on erradicating any blind spots that were always present in older style helmets. And what a success this was! There is a minimal amount of bars making up the grill of the helmet and those that are used are very thin and are little ...
...of the dreaded black spots where you can't see the ball pitch. The idea of the titanium grill is also inspired, you are able to bat for long periods of time (not that i tend to!) without getting that pain in your neck with the weight of the helmet and in comparison to other older style, heavier helmets, you literally hardly notice you are wearing it. The build quality is fantastic on the helmet and grill itself and I have full faith in its ability ...
