Shrey Cricket Helmets: Full Range Comparison & Expert Guide

Posted On December 5, 2025 by VKS

Shrey helmets have become a hugely popular choice from club level right through to professional cricket, thanks to their combination of lightweight design, modern shell materials and strong safety credentials. The current Shrey line-up includes the Performance Steel, Masterclass 2.0 Air Steel, Masterclass Air 2.0 Titanium and Elite Pro Titanium - giving players a clear progression from great-value steel models through to ultra-light titanium helmets with pro-level features.

At VKS, we've put together this guide to help you understand how the different Shrey models compare, what type of player each one suits, and why you might choose steel or titanium when selecting your next helmet.

Steel vs Titanium Grilles: Which Should You Choose?

  • Titanium Grille - Lighter and stronger than steel, titanium offers excellent impact resistance with less weight on the head and neck. It's the premium choice for serious and professional players, but comes at a higher price.
  • Steel Grille - Durable, reliable and great value. Slightly heavier than titanium but still protective enough for all standards of cricket. Ideal for club and school players or anyone prioritising value.

Shrey's range gives you both options: the Performance and Masterclass 2.0 Air are steel-grille models, while the Masterclass Air 2.0 Titanium and Elite Pro Titanium sit at the top end with titanium grilles and lighter shells.

1. Shrey Performance Steel - The Lightweight All-Rounder

The Shrey Performance Steel Cricket Helmet is designed as a lightweight, everyday match helmet for players at any level. Weighing around 940 grams, it strikes a great balance between comfort and protection, all while meeting the latest BS safety standards. A newly designed steel grille improves both facial and side protection, giving batters confidence against pace and spin alike.

Best for:

Club and school cricketers who want a reliable, lightweight steel helmet at an affordable price.

Key Traits:

  • Approx. 940g weight to reduce strain on neck and shoulders
  • New steel grille design for enhanced side and facial coverage
  • Built to the latest BS safety standards
  • Comfortable foam padding with removable, washable sweatband
