this ruroc thing is too beaucoup. If you want to dressup as a storm trooper, then fine. But for snowbaording, it over the top and unnecessary.

I'm fairly sure I've seen this or something really similar in a magazine, no? It had clip on goggles you could wear with it, if you wanted.

The idea is cool, a bit too out there for me, but it is cool. Might hurt if you hit someone in the head wearing it though! Is it heavy?

I think the idea is great (I thought that since I first saw it in a mag ages ago) but the design could be better...It all looks a bit racer/skier ish to me. If you could get it to all fit together without it looking like a 1 piece item it would be great, i.e. I'd have a little peak on the helmet, make the goggle frames with some pattern designs and have them follow a tighter contour to the face rather than the circumference of the helmet... The lower part could then be done in a different colour and pattern to the main helmet, you could even go for a fabric version, kinda integrated bandana style! That would be good...

Or what about being able to print a 360 image of your own face/head around it. Certainly wouldn't get nicked then !! Well mine wouldn't.

Any MotoGP fans out there remember Valentino Rossi' lid from Mugello?







When I first saw it I thought it was just terrible. Then when I saw it peeking over the top of his screen while doing over 200mph down the straight it just cracked me up!

P.S. I think the camo options would be V cool!
P.P.S. Could you do the iRoC (all white) but with black detailing (instead of red)?
P.P.P.S. The motorbike helmet that was mentioned earlier is probably this one (Roof Boxer)

Hi pudsey,

YES! All our goggles house the widest lenses available. These allow spectacles to be worn underneath. (no Elton's or Dame Edna's tho)

Please note: All RuRoC goggles and helmets are sized!!! I think we are the first company to offer size ranges in goggles...? So if you want a bespoke pair to fit your face properly check ours out! RuRoC products are developed to be worn seamlessly with comfort paramount.

Hope this is of interest...?

Here's a vent diagram displaying the goggle/helmet integration. Our interior houses the best ventilation available plus our goggles actually work with the helmet unlike other brands which only claim to work together. Seriously, after taking tons of helmets apart for research it is apparent most vents don't actually allow air to circulate and escape!! I cannot stand the fact that alot of the leading helmet brands make claims which are false regarding goggle compatability and cooling systems etc... Half the vents on them are blocked!!!

The only thing I can think of when I see those goggles is "should have gone to specsavers".

Good concept, although ventilation is an important factor for helmet choice for me. Are there vents on the top of the lid?

Hi richtea,

Good choice of user name! Unbeatable biscuit.. Thought I would add some pics on here showing me and a colleague away using the helmet and goggles without the masks on.. As you can see the weather was amazing so the masks were left that day!

Regarding the issue of fogging lenses I can truthfully say that they dont. Hopefully someone on here that has used our stuff will verify that claim for me otherwise you can check the comments left on our facebook group page: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=12604225929 .

As for the star wars comments thing, may the force be with you always...

as a sort of novelty like helmet (like those who have mohawks on their hemlets and stuff like that)___it looks quite cool! But i'd be wary! thinking about what would happen if you take a big smash to it!!!!id be worried that i'd get stuck in it!! trapped like darth vader for all eternity.
Wake me up when theres snow on the hill.
