Best cricket helmet

[Howzatone]

Hi there,

I'm in the market for a new helmet. I don't really know too much about which the best helmets are, and I'm looking for some guidance! I don't really want to spend over £50, but if the difference in quality between the 1st class helmet and the 2nd is so great, then I would get the 1st class one.

So, overall, which helmet would you say provides the best quality, taking into account cost.

Thanks.

The new style albion helmet is awesome, so light.. Google Albion.. Masuri also make good helmets

I think the difference would have to be in comfort/ fit rather than safety. I would imagine no helmet would pass muster if it didn't meet pretty rigorous safety standards.

I'd just try a few on and get the one that's most comfortable to you.

I thought the Masuri titanium grille was the lightest at just under 500 grams. Is that correct or is their another one lighter than that available ?

Get a masuri. If not try and get Albion.

I use a Masuri. It is really light and I don't notice it. A good helmet is worth spending $ on. You can afford to skimp on the gloves/pads.
