Your Cricket Which is the best Cricket Helmet?

[Animator!]

Can't stand albion. They're a ridiculous shape. Dead heavy as well.

I have one of those old gray nich helmets. But I got that when I first started up. And it was way way way way waaaaaay too big for me.

Masuri for me...good looking, and very light, does just the job. And i hate the new GM helmet, looks awful

 

[Leggie]

in my opinion Masuri helmets and Albion helmets are the best in weight and durability - and top internationals using them. i have the gray nicholls, it is alright but really does weigh down your a head a fair bit, a bit surprising considering how light the bats are.

sd92 you must mean this helmet, yes i agree, looks awful, vaughan and harmison use it.

 

[sd92]

Yes i do mean that one, horrible looking, looks like a tin can on your head.

 

[Hooper]

YEAH! I hate that helmet so much - looks so gumpy and crap!

 

[Leggie]

It would look better if it was a bit wider like albion and didnt have those dodgy holes in random places....

 

[sd92]

It would look better, if it didn't exist

i like the new gray nicholls helmets, which some ot the indians are wearing in this series, i think strauss, panesar, jaffer and dravid use it.

 

[sd92]

Nah not for me...they are way too big.

Yeah, looks nice, good square jawline on the guard, lots of ventilation.

Get a boring Slazenger, I got smacked by a 60 odd MPH beamer earlier in the season, despite my ears ringing I didn't feel a thing...at the time.

 

[sd92]

Thats what a helmet is supposed to do, the only time you should feel anything is if the helmet digs into your head.

Slazenger are awful IMO.

 

[legspinner@fred]

Exactly, nice and boring, that was the only time i've ever been hit so I don't bother with decent helmets now I know that one does the job.

 

[sd92]

Shouldnt you change it once you get hit.
