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.

The standard steel grill has been improved for the 2006 season and is similar in weight to the titanium and offers equal protection, and that is why you will see many pros wearing the steel grill. The helmet itself is also extremely light, and is very comfortable. The padding and adjustable hend and neck straps mean that the helmet is one size fits all, which is extremely beeficial when your heads grows but the helmet is till in good condition. A wide range of colours are also offered. Worn by many pros, this helmet really is top rate. ...
