Cricket Helmets

Advantages: Good Protection, Durable
Disadvantages: Uncomfortable

...However, in my experience the masuri junior was uncomfortable. After a few years of solid use, the polystyrene began to break and fall off. This polystyrene is very difficult to replace. In my case I had to purchase a new helmet as it would not have protected me properly if my helmet was struck. For this product i paid roughly £30-40, which i feel is slightly overpriced, however the product does endure for a very long time. ... Read review

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 ... Read review

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. ... Read review

Advantages: Extremely comfortable, lightweight, good vision
Disadvantages: None!

After trying on both the Masuri Test with the standard grill and the Masuri Test with the Titanium grill I could really see no difference. 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 ... Read review

Advantages: One-size fits all
Disadvantages:

...sizes can pose problems. The Masuri helmet is a one-size fits all helmet. There are a variety of different adjustions possible to allow the helmet to fit all comfortably. This allows a club to buy a helmet knowing that it will fit both their adults and any youngsters playing in the team. The grill is also adjustable which helps remove complaints of "I can't wear helmets because my vision is obscurred". The helmet fits comfortably and conforms to ... Read review
