| I have the same one Watson is using. All I can say is that albion must not be using constant manufacturing methods if yours can weigh that much more than mine. |

| The Aussie team are sponsored by Albion, that's why Haddin, Clarke get rid of the masuri logo off of their helmets. |

Its a matter of preference, i'm used to Masauri so ill always go for one of thoose. However i certainly would have no problems wearing an Albion if i really had too. Try both and see what feels better. Both are quality helmets. |

In the weight departemnt;
Albion Ultimate 98: 675 grams (Replacement one)
Masuri Titanium (2008): 575 grams
So clearly not the the lightest, but to me it does feel really good, and to me it feel like it fits my head better than a masuri. The first helmet I got was cleary just one that slipped through the net. I would deffinately recomend the helmet to anyone as it is cheaper than a Masuri Ti and it's is just as good.

If you tell me where you purchased the helmet i can tell you if it is a ligitimate onequote:

I don't know what albion is doing if yours can weigh 140g more than mine. I just don't understand it.
Also, maybe they mean mass market as Masuri and Albion are sold in Australia and England in most stores (I think), where as ayrtek is an english brand which I'm not too sure what stores they are sold in but I deffinately haven't seen anyone where one over here in Aus. Even in saying that though my masuri ti weighs 30 grams less than the albion so again, I have no idea what albion is doing.

Notice his "Australia" location? GCCC stands for Greg Chappell Cricket Centre, a popular Australian specialist cricket retailer. Nice try though  |

Busty17, First of all you are comparing the junior plastic helmet as an adult helmet, now your saying you are talking about the cloth covered Ultimate 98 helmet. Which one are you talking about?
These are just two of the helmets in the Albion range, Obviously children don't bowl as fast as Brett Lee therefore different material are used. |
