I have to get a new hurling helmet and I haven't made up my mind as to what one to buy. What do people recommend ? Cooper are making a strong comeback, Marc are new and Mycro are around for ages, what should I do?

Its hard to know what you are looking for. They all comply with the correct safety regulations.

I personaly wear a cooper helmet as I find it provides me with good vision and plenty of protection.

In 2010 its going to be compulsory for every player to wear a helmet(even senior). I'm not sure but I don't think the cooper currently meets the all the safety requirements. The Micro and the marc do.

Gotta love the fashion parade, lads willing to part with any money for a helmet which doesnt meet NSAI standards and wont be able to wear it next year. Buy yourself a mycro helmet will ya, they are a nicer helmet than the cooper.

Pinkie who cares if the Cooper helmets don't meet safety requirements which aren't coming in until next year,no ref in a club match will go around checking everyones helmet!!cop on to yourself will ya

Why spend E100+ on a Cooper helmet now that you'll use for 3 months and then need a new one for next year? If the GAA are going to enforce it they will have to enforce it properly for insurance reasons. (as someone who works in insurance I think I will be proven right on this one!) Will stand corrected though and dont care to be honest - you can do what you like!!!
