C&D Cricket Helmets
29 Choyce Close

Measuring the distance around your head only indicates which helmet size might suit you.  The shape of your head will also affect the outcome.

The Balance Series Helmets are longer front to back.  The Albion Series offer a more rounded shape.

Place the C&D helmet of choice on your head.

If it fits front to back but not side to side, add thicker padding pieces provided to the interior rim on either or both sides of the helmet to achieve a close fit.

Too tight? Change padding pieces until you achieve a comfortable result where your head and the helmet move as one, before placing the chin cup on your chin and tightening the chin strap.

Continue swapping padding pieces using thinner ones to make more room, until you achieve the correct fit.

If it is still too tight then that size / model is not for you.

If the helmet is loose all round, it could be that it is too big for you, but the extra padding pieces provided when added to the interior rim may well enable the close fit you need.

They are both robustly constructed and both meet BS 7928:2013 requirements.

The Balance is designed with a view to the maximum protection possible given the design parameters determined by current practice and now expected by customers.

The Albion, too, matches the benchmark test results for all approved product from our competitors.

For those concerned about the weight of their helmet, both models are generally amongst the lightest helmets on the market.

The main differences are the shape of the helmet, and the style of covering.

Weight.

All face guards are tested to BS 7928:2013 (see testing) and designed to withstand impact from a cricket ball.

As with a car, even if it is dented, it has done its job and protected you.

Under current guidelines, a helmet has to be replaced if the faceguard is damaged.

Don’t be tempted to carry on and not replace it. The face guard has done its work and protected you.

Generally, all protective products' capabilities diminish with age.

If it was bought before 2015 you should think about replacement.

The principle shock absorption capability is provided by the EPS liner on the inside of the helmet. EPS has exceptional shock absorbing capability for its weight. It can, however, still be damaged.

Your head must be fully protected.  Don’t compromise on your personal safety.
