Which KNYX Helmet Is Right for You?

The KNYX C5 ISO Navy Cricket Helmet (£109.95): Solid Protection Without Breaking the Bank

The KNYX C5 ISO Navy Cricket Helmet is the entry point into the range, and at £109.95 it represents a genuinely accessible price for a helmet from a brand that clearly takes protection seriously. This is the model for developing players, juniors moving into senior cricket, or club cricketers on a tighter budget who still want the reassurance of a properly certified lid. It carries ISO certification, so you're not compromising on the fundamentals. If you bat occasionally down the order and don't face the quickest bowlers week in, week out, this does exactly what a helmet should do.

The KNYX C5 ISO PRO Navy Cricket Helmet (£199.95): The Mid-Range Sweet Spot

Step up to the KNYX C5 ISO PRO Navy Cricket Helmet at £199.95 and you're into PRO ISO territory on the C5 shell. This is the helmet we'd point most regular club cricketers towards. You're still on the C5 platform, but the PRO designation signals a meaningful upgrade in fit, finish and specification over the standard version. For a batter who opens or bats in the top four at club level and faces a reasonable standard of pace bowling, spending the extra £90 over the entry model is well worth it. It's the kind of helmet that feels like a proper piece of kit without demanding a professional-level budget.

The KNYX C7 ISO Navy Cricket Helmet (£284.95): Stepping onto the Top Shell

The KNYX C7 ISO Navy Cricket Helmet at £284.95 moves you onto KNYX's C7 shell, which sits at the premium end of the range. The C7 is clearly aimed at players for whom head protection is a primary concern, whether that's because they face genuinely quick bowling, play a high volume of cricket, or simply want the confidence that comes from wearing top-tier kit. At this price point you're making a statement about how seriously you take your batting. It's well suited to strong club cricketers, league players in competitive Saturday and Sunday setups, and anyone stepping into representative cricket.

The KNYX C7 ISO PRO Navy Cricket Helmet (£354.95): The Best KNYX Has to Offer

At the top of the range sits the KNYX C7 ISO PRO Navy Cricket Helmet, priced at £354.95. This is KNYX's flagship cricket helmet, combining the C7 shell with PRO ISO certification. If you're the kind of cricketer who demands the best available protection and expects your equipment to match your ambition, this is the one. The PRO ISO spec on the C7 platform means you're buying the most comprehensively developed option in the entire KNYX lineup. For serious club players, academy cricketers and anyone who faces high-quality bowling regularly, this is where the range peaks.

C5 or C7? PRO ISO or Standard ISO? Making Sense of the Range

The two decisions you're making when picking a KNYX helmet are shell family and certification level. The C5 and C7 designations refer to the shell, with the C7 being the higher-specification platform. Within each shell, the standard ISO models give you certified protection at a more accessible price, while the PRO ISO versions represent the more developed, higher-spec offering. So the logical progression runs: C5 ISO, then C5 ISO PRO, then C7 ISO, then C7 ISO PRO. Your budget and the standard of cricket you play are the two levers to pull when deciding where you sit in that progression.

One practical note: all four helmets are currently available in Navy. It's a clean, professional colourway that suits whites and coloured kits alike, and it's a colour that tends to age well on the pitch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does ISO certification mean on a cricket helmet?

ISO certification on a cricket helmet means the product has been tested against an internationally recognised safety standard for head protection in cricket. All four KNYX helmets carry ISO certification, giving you confidence that each model, regardless of price, meets a defined benchmark for impact resistance and protection.

What is the difference between the C5 and C7 shells?

The C5 and C7 refer to the two shell platforms in the KNYX Cricket Helmet range. The C7 is KNYX's premium shell, sitting above the C5 in the range hierarchy. If budget allows, the C7 platform is the higher-specification choice, and the C7 ISO PRO is the top of the entire lineup at £354.95.

Is the PRO ISO version worth the extra cost over standard ISO?

For regular batters facing competitive club bowling, yes. The PRO ISO designation indicates an upgraded specification over the standard ISO model within the same shell family. If you play frequently, open the batting or face decent pace, the step up to PRO ISO, whether on the C5 at £199.95 or the C7 at £354.95, is a worthwhile investment in protection and quality.

Do these helmets come in other colours?

At launch, all four KNYX Cricket Helmets are available in Navy. We'd recommend checking the individual product pages for the latest availability, as colourway options can change as the range develops through the season.
