Mycro Sportsgear
Mycro Sportsgear is a manufacturer and retailer of helmets and sliotars (balls) and other equipment used in the game of hurling.[1] It was founded in the mid-1980s,[2][3] and is based in Ballincollig in Ireland.[4] As of 2010, when new Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) rules made the wearing of helmets compulsory, Mycro Sportsgear was one of three manufacturers with helmets meeting the expected standard.[5] Later, the company made the first helmet to pass the National Standards Authority of Ireland IS 355 safety standard for hurling helmets.[6]
