Sometimes it helps to have a violent little sister

i have a masuri and a albion.. never been hit in the head with either. but the albion has more protection and padding but i wear my masuri more because its lighter and it fits better on me. A helmet i find is more of a confidence thing. Ive batted without several times and i dont play pull shots or horizontal bat shots with it because im not condident and see my self backing away. Where as with a helmet they are my best shots.

But i cant say which is more protective but i highly rate both of them.

what does anybody recon about Woodworm helmets?

WOW i never knew there was such a difference in helmets.

To me, i just go for something that fits, (isn't too tigh and hard to put on, but doesnt fall back or tilt), something that lets me see alot, and doesnt block the sides of my vision, and weight. Too light is freaky tho Very funny.

meh, so the final verdict. What is a good helmet for me?

I am an bowling all rounder, who opens batting or plays late-middle order. I generally prefer to run between wickets and rush for twos and threes. If it's anyhting im tall, and my star sign in capricorn. =P

EDIT: oh yeah! im 14 Very funny...

if your going to get a masuri make sure you get it with the titanium grill     makes it even lighter

C & D Albion Test Helmet. It's brilliantly comfortable. The best range in my opinion.

Albion is tried an true...Aussie made, can't beat that. Not to mention the majority of international cricketers have been using them, in some shape or model.

MASURII LOOOKS THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

hey guys, i also need a new helmet, does the alibion test helmet look like the albion test series CLUB EDITION. the club edition is much cheaper, do they look similar? if so has anyone got any pics of the CLUB EDITION one, not the  albion test, the albion test CLUB EDITION.

the best way is to comprimise I reckon Ashwell Prince has it right an Albion Centurion helmet (made of kevlar fyi) and a titanium masuri grill

you can always adjust the grill on helemts, to make the grill a bit lower. the average masuri is pretty light compared to other helmets, but the titanium grill makes it much lighter. i didn't think it would, but it did, honestly.

you can get albion test series helmets in two sizes

small to large

large to xxl

if youve got a small head get a small to large

they do look bulky, but they still look pretty gud, plus they are much more protective than masuri

i use a masuri, they are good as the grills don't bloke your vision for the ball. also they are lighter than any other average helmet.

the helmet is made out of fiberglass, and it is pretty strong but i got hit on the head once, i had a huge bump on my head for a week!

 

they are strong but not very shock absorbent

gray nichols predator helmet i have this one its the same as andrew straus's

masuri titanium or steal grill all the way
