When the world's best batters step to the crease, they trust their helmet with their safety. More and more of them are trusting Gray-Nicolls. Here's why — and who.
Built for the Best
A cricket helmet is the most important piece of kit in your bag. It's the one item that can never be a compromise. All Gray-Nicolls helmets are rigorously tested to required ICC standards and regularly outperform rival brands in terms of safety and performance.
What sets Gray-Nicolls apart from the rest of the market starts with the grille. Gray-Nicolls helmets feature a unique fixed grille, fitted at the factory — ensuring that the helmet's safety is never compromised by the user incorrectly fastening it, or opening up the gap between peak and grille where a ball might otherwise sneak through.
Then there's the vision. Gray-Nicolls helmets have a contoured peak rather than a flat one, which deflects the ball and disperses impact. Testing has shown that the field of vision offered is the best in the market, crucial when you're trying to pick up a 90mph delivery out of the hand.
The flagship Gray-Nicolls Ultimate 360 Pro takes protection further still. The Ultimate 360 features anthropometrically informed, contoured steel wings which project around the back of the helmet to provide unparalleled jaw, ear and neck protection for the game's most dynamic hitters. It's a helmet conceived entirely around the demands of elite cricket, and it shows in the names wearing it.
Harry Brook: A Statement of Trust
The biggest endorsement of the Gray-Nicolls helmet in recent years came in 2025. Harry Brook — England's white-ball captain — switched to the Gray-Nicolls Ultimate 360 Pro, putting his trust in the brand to protect him at the crease and aligning himself with the top players in international cricket.
Brook is one of the most fearless batters in the game. He takes on short balls, he stands tall against genuine pace, and he plays without inhibition. That someone with his approach chose to make the switch says everything about the confidence the helmet inspires. The 360 design and advanced safety features support that fearless approach to batting across all formats.
A Global Roll Call
Brook isn't alone. Kane Williamson, Tahlia McGrath, Tammy Beaumont and Travis Head are among the international names who have put their faith in the Gray-Nicolls helmet, four of the finest batters in world cricket, from three different countries, all making the same choice when it matters most.
Cam Green, one of Australia's most exciting batting allrounders, is another long-time wearer — someone who faces high-quality bowling in every format and needs a helmet he can trust without thinking about it.
The pattern is clear: when elite players who understand the game's risks choose their protection, Gray-Nicolls is the helmet they keep coming back to.
Your Turn
The same technology protecting Brook, Williamson, Head, and Green is available to every cricketer, at every level. Explore the full Gray-Nicolls helmet range — from the Atomic for juniors and club players, to the Ultimate 360 worn by the international game's best — and find the helmet that gives you the confidence to face whatever comes your way.
