Gray Nicolls were the first manufacturer to secure the accreditation of both the Australian and British standard institutes. With the British standard reviewed in 2014, Gray Nicolls have ensured that their helmets continue to meet the requirements of the modern game. Gray Nicolls helmets are light, comfortable and most importantly safe. The new fixed Apex grille has been designed to give players maximum coverage and vision from a factory fitted grille. A contoured reinforced peak has also been designed to combat the fastest bowlers and allow the batsman to concentrate fully on the battle between bat and ball. The Omega XRD helmet has a shell designed for maximum safety at the highest level of the game. The additional benefits of XRD make this helmet a must for the serious player who takes on the most serious of bowlers. PROTECTION LEVEL - Test Match FEATURES - Smart impact-absorbing XRD foam lining, with airflow vent channels. Factory fitted Apex grille with foam temple guards and shock absorbers.
