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!

More pics here

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...?

did anyone else instantly think it's like a snowboarder version of "the stig"?

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.

I really think the idea makes great sense. The thing that would stop me getting it for myself or my kids is that it looks a little bit too mad. Like someone has had a robotic head transplant. Endless crap 'just use the force' pisstaking in store.

Is there any way of showing that there is really a person under there?

My other worry from the look of it would be that it would steam up, maybe there's a way to solve both these problems together?

Wow, the 360 print concept is way out there!>>>hahaha. I like it! I'm also a little bit scared though.... Kinda like the weird scene from Total Recal when he wears the fat lady suit and the helmet turns into a bomb...hahaha, I'm just chatting films about everyone's suggestions!!hahaha..

Chrome is a possibility naturalfreeride... We have looked at some chrome finish paints and they look pretty good. The adhesion is the problem here though. Like you say, as long as it doesn't scratch badly... I have some test plastics sprayed which I will test and let you know the outcome!

Chrome one would look totally Cylon from Battle Star Gallactica! - keeping along the movie/TV referencing.... Anyone have any more..??? The Stig, Predator, Top Gun etc....

Hey PB,

Thanks for the time taken to post. I'm sure we will do some kind of camo design... Im thinking a range of special ops styles could do quite well...? I still like playing war too. A white camo sounds pretty interesting too, kinda where eagles dare style! I love that movie!!!!!

A spot of military camo would look cool I reckon, like the coverings on the army helmets.

And a white camo version.

If you could make a chrome version that didn't scratch up to hell that would be cool.
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.
