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?

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

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...

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

Forgot to ask about that  :o
But it turns out proper polo helmets are much better value

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

I just want to stress getting airbags and covering them with UCDCC and tying them in an awkward way so they stay in club boats!
