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 if no distraction for the batsman and there are none 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 to protect me, but the only problem i have encountered is that the padding inside the helmet, that are designed to make it comfortable to wear, come loose and are near on impossible to stick back down regardless of the glue you use, i have had this problem in my helmet and several other friends have had the same problems with theirs, but this is after 2 years of pretty much non-stop cricketing.
