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?
Title: Re: BARGAIN HUNTING
Post by: Jean Kelly on March 18, 2012, 14:39:55
Hurling helmets are 50e a pop at this stage for senior helmets... Don't think u will get any huge deal on them
Title: Re: BARGAIN HUNTING
Post by: Garbhan on March 18, 2012, 18:19:46
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...
Title: Re: BARGAIN HUNTING

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

Anyone looking for a first boat? Great outdoors have one of  these  (http://www.daggereurope.com/product/index/product_homepage/whitewater/action_kayaks/axiom_series_action/axiom_8_0_action/) for sale for €400 ( you could possibly get them down a bit). It's definitely used but seems to be in good nick.

Also, there's an actual playboat (http://forum.iww.ie/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1074) for sale on Irishwhitewater.


- those boats on donedeal look quite speculatively priced...
It does often have good deals on gt/inazone type boats though.

AIR BAGShttp://www.i-canoe.com/Rescue/Airbags.htm

Their general ones there on i-canoe are about €18, but I saw them for €15 in Gods at Christmas.
Title: Re: BARGAIN HUNTING
Post by: Douchier on March 19, 2012, 17:12:16
Eugh...they should only be a tenner.

Edit: I just looked at the i-canoe website - those ones for €18 are really bad too. Karen got some of those a few years ago and they only lasted about a year before completely falling apart.

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!
