The cricket helmet category was probably the most scrutinized category this year after the fateful Phillip Hughes. The Masuri Elite Titanium Helmet was already designed at the time of the incident and they are hands down the cricket helmet of the year for 2015. In addition to the Masuri Elite Titanium Helmet, there is of course the Masuri Stem Guard that is sold separately from the helmet that protects the base of the batsman's head.

There is five parts to the Masuri Elite Titanium Helmet. These five elements essentially serve to bolster what the Masuri Elite Titanium Helmet is created for. It is created to provide the highest level of protection and an extreme amount of comfort. As part of the Vision Series, it also serves to increase the line of vision for the batsman. All of this has been accomplished with real success by Masuri with the Elite Titanium Helmet. It is for this innovation that the Masuri Elite Titanium Helmet has been selected as cricket product of the year for 2015 in the helmet category.

1. Eye Line Grille

All helmets in the Vision Series including the Masuri Elite Titanium Helmet come with an additional bar which is placed beneath the eye-line of the batsman. This bar when impacted forces the ball upward to the peak of the helmet instead of allowing the ball through to the face of the batsman.

2. HALO Reinforcement System

In order to prevent facial injuries, such as the one that ended the career of Craig Kieswetter, Masuri has installed the HALO System. This system prevents movement between the peak of the helmet and the grille of the helmet. This means that upon impact you can rest assured that the grille will not give way allowing the ball through. It is another outstanding quality of the Masuri Elite Titanium Helmet.

3. Titanium Grille

The benefits of this on the Masuri Elite Titanium Helmet are two fold. Firstly, it is incredibly light and secondly it is highly protective.

4. Air Cooling System

Next to being protected a batsman needs to be comfortable. Masuri has strategically placed air vents on the inner and outer shell of the helmet to give the batsman the best possible ventilation and cooling.

5. Twin Shell Protection System

The actual helmet is made up of twin protection, which means a double layer shell. This is great for protecting the head of the batsman and limiting the damage done by being hit on the helmet, reducing concussions.

The Masuri Elite Titanium Helmet is well priced for the protection it offers, after all we are talking about protecting your head.
