C&D®
All set to become an important brand.
An evocative name.
A legendary, even iconic name for quality products.
Design
C&D®‘s first instinct was to produce a ground-breaking product, but cricket is a game for traditionalists, where change is viewed with suspicion and can be rejected.
C&D® has to meet cricket consumers’ product expectations first; so C&D® keeps it simple, and begins with two very distinctive cricket helmet shapes. All experts’ consensus views suggest we have achieved that first step.
The first model (The Balance Series) offers the best protection and a very traditional look.
The second model (The Albion Series) offers a lighter helmet yet maintains protection that matches all major cricket helmet brands.
- We will not make cosmetic changes and suggest it enhances protection
- We have, however, designed cosmetic changes to allow you to choose a different look
- All Albion Series models have a C&D® Titanium face guard option
- All C&D® Cricket Helmets have been tested against 4¾ oz and 5½ oz balls
The Balance Series
- Traditional fabric covered cricket helmet
- A longer shape front to back than side to side
The Albion Series
- A modern equivalent for a more rounded head shape
- Shorter in length front to back than The Balance
The first certified C&D® cricket helmets are single use; after a blow, mishandling, or mistreatment, they should be replaced – this applies to all current cricket helmets, not just C&D®.
Research and development continues. Improved performance & protection via continuous development is our aim.
All our intended enhancements and improvements will be discussed with customers before any changes are introduced.
