Eye-Line Protection in a Pro Style Shell: the Masuri E Line Plus Titanium Cricket Helmet with StemGuard
Overview
The Masuri E Line Plus titanium cricket helmet is a premium, matt painted helmet for serious club and league batters. It pairs a titanium grille with Masuri's patented Eye-Line faceguard for added face protection. It meets BS 7928:2013+A1:2019 and comes pre-fitted with the StemGuard Lite 2.0 neck guard.
The E Line Plus belongs to Masuri's OS3 range. Its painted shell mirrors the TF3D custom helmets Masuri builds for professional cricketers. Masuri says players including Ollie Pope, Mitchell Starc and Jason Holder prefer the E Line specification. The titanium faceguard keeps weight low at the front, so the helmet feels balanced when you sway or duck.
The UK season has just closed, so winter nets and pre-season training come next. Buying now gives you months to get used to the helmet before April. It also makes a premium Christmas present, with a yellow Masuri carry bag in the box.
Features
- Patented Eye-Line faceguard: Masuri's own grille design, built to add protection for the face. It is the feature that gives the E Line its name.
- Titanium grille: strong and light, so less weight sits in front of your face. That helps reduce neck fatigue through a long innings.
- StemGuard Lite 2.0 included: guards the back of the head and neck. You expose this area when you turn from a bouncer or top edge a hook. It comes fitted, so you save a separate purchase.
- Matt painted OS3 shell: a clean, modern finish styled on Masuri's TF3D custom range. It gives you the look of the professional game.
- Airflow cooling system: vents move air through the shell. This helps on hot July afternoons and in stuffy indoor nets.
- Yellow carry bag included: protects the helmet and grille in your kit bag between matches.
- Four colours, four sizes: Navy, Green, Maroon and Black, from Small to Extra Large. That covers heads from 55cm to 64cm.
Design and Materials
The E Line Plus combines the matt painted shell of the Plus range with the patented Eye-Line faceguard. That shell finish comes from the TF3D custom range, the made to measure helmets Masuri makes for professionals. The result is a sharp, modern look in four club colours.
The faceguard is titanium. Titanium is strong and light, and it does not rust. Using it for the Eye-Line design keeps the front of the helmet light. The StemGuard Lite 2.0 clips to the back with moulded clips. Masuri designs its stem guards to protect the neck without restricting head movement at the crease.
Key Technologies
Eye-Line Faceguard: Masuri's patented grille design for added face protection. It is the defining feature of every E Line helmet.
Titanium Grille: A strong, light faceguard certified with the shell. It keeps weight off the front of the helmet for better balance.
OS3 Shell Design: Masuri's newer shell, styled after its TF3D custom helmets. You get a pro inspired look in standard sizes.
StemGuard Lite 2.0: A clip-on guard for the back of the head and neck. It covers the gap below the shell that a helmet alone leaves open.

VKS Review
This helmet is for batters who want Eye-Line face protection without going custom. The Eye-Line faceguard is the main reason to choose it over the T Line Plus. The titanium grille keeps it light and balanced, so it stays steady when you sway inside a short ball. The stem guard and carry bag complete the package.
The trade-off is price. It costs clearly more than the T Line Plus Titanium, so occasional batters may not need it. If you want titanium and the matt shell for less, the T Line Plus Titanium is the better value. If you want a made to measure fit, ask about Masuri's TF3D custom range. VKS has sold cricket kit for over 50 years. You can also visit our London store in Ealing to try this before you buy.
Q&A Section
Does the E Line Plus Titanium come with a stem guard?
Yes, Masuri supplies it pre-fitted with the StemGuard Lite 2.0. The guard covers the back of the head and upper neck. It clips on, so you can take it off to clean the helmet.
What is the Eye-Line faceguard?
It is Masuri's patented grille design, made to give added protection for the face. It is what separates the E Line from the T Line range. On this model it is made from titanium to keep weight down.
Which is better, the E Line Plus or the T Line Plus Titanium?
Both share the matt OS3 shell, a titanium grille, the stem guard and a carry bag. The E Line Plus adds Masuri's patented Eye-Line faceguard for extra face protection. Choose the E Line Plus if face protection is your priority and the T Line Plus if value matters more.
What size cricket helmet do I need?
Measure around your head about 1cm above the eyebrows. Small fits 55 to 58cm, Medium 58 to 60cm, Large 60 to 62cm and Extra Large 62 to 64cm. If you sit between sizes, try both, as a helmet that rocks will not protect you properly.
Is this the helmet professionals wear?
It shares its look with the TF3D custom helmets many professionals wear. TF3D helmets are made to measure, while the E Line Plus comes in standard sizes. That makes it a far more affordable route to the pro specification.
Is the E Line Plus safe for club cricket?
Yes, it meets BS 7928:2013+A1:2019, the current British Standard for cricket helmets. That standard tests the shell and grille together against ball impacts. No helmet removes all risk, so replace it after any heavy blow.
Can I try the Masuri E Line Plus titanium cricket helmet in store?
Yes, it is available in our Ealing store and online with free UK delivery on orders over £100. You can compare it side by side with the T Line Plus. Our team will also help you choose the right size.
When should I replace my cricket helmet?
Replace it after any hard impact to the shell or grille. A big hit can weaken the helmet even when no damage shows. Check the grille, shell and stem guard clips before each new season.
