Formula 1 fans will be interested to know that the helmets worn by pit crews of Brawn GP, McLaren and Force India are made by British company RG Sports, maker of RuRoc helmets. Snowsports versions of those helmets are now available providing state-of-the-art safety, comfort and innovative design in a seamlessly integrated helmet, goggle and mask system.
An obvious design feature is the integrated mask that attaches to the helmet and protects the face from direct airflow. Goggles fit snuggly for complete protection from the elements. The mask is easily detached, even with gloves on and clever airflow management ensures easy breathing with no fogging inside.
A cool link on the website is called “Pimp My Lid.” Download a helmet template to design your own version. If RuRoc likes it they say they will make it happen. www.ruroc.com
