Ruroc RG-1 Ski and Snowboard Helmet!
February 20th, 2012 by Dave Holden
As we all try to reflect upon the mad skills of Sean White or Lindsay Vonn, one thing is apparent, we’ll probably never get to their level! But why not look good trying? As I snagged the sweetest helmet on the market, I dropped myself into a Darth Vader type aura that slapped me into a matrix atmosphere. The Ruroc RG-1 ski and snowboard helmet is like nothing else.
At first glance, you become the regular rider with a chin buckled helmet….and then waala! A chin piece that armors you. You become a fierce fighter gliding down the mountain as the abdominal snowman…or like me…a snowball needing the extra protection, EVERYWHERE!
This helmet offers ultimate protection with world leading visibility, anti fog design, and no more frozen chin! Regardless of the weather, sun or flurries, this helmet adapts quickly and effectively to what you want as a rider.
Developed on the Canadian Rockies after frozen chins, foreheads, icy eyes, and painful runs, the Ruroc RG-1 gives you exactly what you need to face the mountain demons!
Slammed with passionate outdoor enthusiasts, Ruroc is here to take the ski and snowboard helmet production to the next level.
Be your own element on the mountain and stay protected, stay warm, Ride Ruroc!
