Helmets

Cricket Helmets
Cricket helmets are vital to any cricket player and should be worn at all times by batsmen. With the advances in training and sports equipment, top bowlers are now able to bowl at phenomenal speeds: a cricket ball can be a dangerous object when travelling at 140km/h. Should a ball bounce up off the pitch unexpectedly and smash into your head without a helmet, serious injury would be very likely. Those who follow cricket will know that even with protection, a ball to the head can be a painful experience – but without, it could be fatal.

A cricket helmet is specifically designed to take impact at high speeds, absorbing the impact and distributing it to avoid a serious knock to any concentrated area. The steel grille in front also ensures that the ball cannot strike the face at any time, while still not obstructing the player's view. A helmet should also be worn when by a wicketkeeper who is close to the stumps, or a fielder who is close to the batsman on strike.
