I suspect that for many the first decision to make when choosing a cricket helmet for batting will be brand, with the majority deciding between Masuri and Shrey This decision is most likely based on something subjective such as your favourite player, preferred brand image or brand awareness. Most likely this decision will have been made before you consider your price point (fact is both these brands have helmets for £50 to £200 so the reality is you are going to find a helmet within your price point with your preferred brand.
Once you do start looking into the options though it can become a little confusing and a tad fascinating and if nothing else will make you look at what the players are wearing a little closer – well it did with me hence the post summarising some of the options you may want to consider.
NB: Masuri have a slightly confused brand model structure having previously used Elite, Test and Club but now using E LINE, T LINE and C LINE for all their products, with the addition of Vision Series for their helmets. So when reading the summary Elite = E LINE etc as depending on what site you are looking at you will see both still in use.
NB: Titanium or Steel refers to the grill on the helmet
NB: if you need a colour other than Nay Blue head to the bottom of the list.

If you are looking for a Masuri Helmet than you could do a lot worse than look at Elite Lids who offer the whole range at competitive prices and for an extra £5 will embroider your club badge on it.
I have a Masuri C LINE Plus Steel and a Masuri E LINE Steel.
