Helmets

[pullhard]

Been back at training today, forgot my helmet. We had a game of back and forwards, I haven't played so well in years. Was seeing the ball like a beachball, savage hurling!! One of the lads went off and i threw his helmet on, Jesus i couldn't see anything, couldn't pick or catch ball and the shooting was right out the window.

This got me thinking, has anyone tried using one of these http://www.hockeyoffice.com/mission-m1501-hockey-helmets-incl-concept-2-visier-black/hockey-store/shop1prodview_iM1033710_cgb_uGBP.html?lik=SITEGAWP-M1033710.2&lik2=&pk_campaign=GAWP&pk_kwd= in hurling? Similar price to Mycro but you'd be able to see the fecking ball!

i'd say it would be fairly claustrophobic. all veryy well till it fogs up or gets a few scratches. and it couldnt be great for a wet day.

I always feel 'caged in' with a normal helmet. I watch a bit of hockey and they never seem to fog up on the pro's, prob use some of the anti fog used on swimming goggles? As for them getting scratched up watch this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnO-HnRC6mM

Yeah i'd be a real pain if rained, but i sense a long dry summer!

I think it could work, need to find somewhere i could try one!
