Has anyone had experience of using the decathlon boreal helmets for polo?
we're replacing our old club helmets and thought they might be a option

We bought some boreal helmets for our club and fitted them with face masks without problem. Just watch how you fit the face mask to helmet. :)

thanks, will do!
haven't had a chance to look at one in the flesh yet, our local decathlon has had to order one in. we'll definately consider them though. anyone got any other ideas for cheap, easily adjustable (club) helmets for polo?

Have you checked ice-hockey helmets? They are quite common for polo here in Finland.
The helmets are easy to adjust and you can buy them with face guards. Allthought because of all the water you better buy ones with stainless steel face guards and remember to dry the helmets of after use (so the bolts wont rust).
