I was thinking about polo helmets and how I've seen a few hurling helmets at the DCPL, would the club be interested in bulk prices on these?

[Jean Kelly]

Hurling helmets are 50e a pop at this stage for senior helmets... Don't think u will get any huge deal on them

[Garbhan]

I know a guy who used to import hockey helmets (Helmet and face guard separate) and put them together and it turned out a good bit cheaper. I'd have to ask him if he still does though...

[Douchier]

hurling helmets; they're not really too good...and not strictly allowed. Some people like them though.

I know they're from Britain, but they say that most of Europe has free postage, and that's a good deal. The second one has an extra 10% off if you get 10+.

Glad u've seen the light Garbh.... hurling helmets only good when thers a leatherball or a wooden stick flyin at ur face.... (voice of experience speaking here) and with  all the new regulations insurance reasons etc. they cost a bomb (also from the voice of experience)

Also came across this website.. dont know if ther anygood but might do a deal if ur looking for this  in bulk... haggling is always worth a try

Saw this too.... http://www.donedeal.ie/for-sale/watersports/3102281
