Masuri’s latest helmet range includes a StemGuard in the price. At B3 Cricket, our reaction is simple: it’s a welcome move and long overdue.
Additional protection shouldn’t be an afterthought. Including a StemGuard helps players and parents choose that extra protection from the outset, without budgeting for a separate accessory.
Why does a StemGuard matter?
A helmet covers much of the head, but vulnerable areas remain around the back of the head and upper neck. Masuri developed its StemGuard to provide additional protection in this area while allowing freedom of movement.
That matters whether you’re an experienced club batter or a junior finding your feet against the hard ball. Making this protection part of the helmet package is a sensible step forward.
Included in the price
Buying cricket equipment involves plenty of choices. Including the StemGuard removes an extra purchasing decision and makes the total cost clearer.
At B3, we believe additional protection deserves to be discussed whenever a player buys a helmet. We welcome Masuri including it with its new range and would like to see this approach become standard across cricket.
The right fit still matters
Choosing the right size and fitting both the helmet and StemGuard correctly remain essential. An incorrect helmet fit can affect comfort, vision and protection coverage.
