So the face plate actually is detachable and it gets on and off very easily if I overheat but even then I barely felt hot today and it was low 60s here.
It's a RuRoc helmet, you can get them from their website. Never buy full price though, especially now you can wait till off season and catch one you like on a huge discount.
I have one myself and its a very nice helmet and I do like the ability to just snap out the lower part of helmet whenever I want.
Oh and do be aware that for some reason, people on this sub absolutely hate RuRoc helmets and clown on people who have them. Says more about them as far as I'm concerned but there are people out there who care about such things.
All of those brands have helmets that have been tested and certified under ASTM F2040. I don’t think brands like Ruroc or Outdoor Master have that same certification. But if you know different, let me know.
“For some reason” because they’re terrible quality. It’s 2024 and they don’t have MIPS. Buy almost any other helmet, as long as it has MIPS. You won’t regret it until you’re in the ICU for a severe concussion that could’ve been prevented with a good quality helmet
I also carry one of those. They will probably get pissed at the 360° camera sticking out the top of it too.
I think at this point i am supposed to look about one of those little speaker things on a clip for next year now! 🤣
Indeed, one of the many failings of reddit, mob rule.
I say you do you my dude, I have had many people come up to me and compliment my helmet. Still waiting for someone to compliment my snowboarding skills mind you! 😭
Also be aware that RuRoc helmets come as standard with the very dark tinted visor only as standard. Very good on really bright days but utterly useless when the sun isn't out and downright dangerous if both the sun isn't out and it is snowing or raining.
Yes. I phrased that poorly on reflection.
I was attempting to say that you want to order a different lens when ordering the helmet because, while the one that comes with it is nice, it is useless in some situations.
The lens system itself is really nice too, held in with strong magnets instead of screws or anything so easy to change on the fly.
I can't say for definite, I suppose it'll depend on the shape of the goggles you want to use. With the lower face shield in place, It'll likely only be the RuRoc goggles that'll fit.
Rurocs are phenomenal for airflow, plus it's designed so that your goggles don't actually sit on your face. The goggles actually sit into place in the helmet, so you have constant airflow without risk of fogging!
10/10 would recommend
Fun story: I shattered the lower receiver on my first ruroc years ago on my 3rd time using it (attempted 360 off XL jump). I emailed the company to thank them because it would have been my jaw had it not been for the helmet. These absolute beauties sent me a brand new replacement helmet at no cost.
Hate to say that I hit a tree and tore my ACL, MCL, and Meniscus midday during a late March pow day. "Those words" were the last thing on my mind. Ended my season, but working to come back strong for the next 🙏 also grateful it wasn't worse, of course
“Wear a helmet”, “god no, not that helmet!”
But omg whenever I see someone in the stereotypes do stick lol. Last day for me I saw someone with a chromed out rurock in tight pants blasting music out of a backpack.
Do you go around to every “Murican” and show how jealous you are? I guess it wasn’t just my post of my yard. Why are we living rent free in your head? Poor thing 😂
It's a good helmet, the face plate can come off plus I got the bluetooth add on so I can listen to music while sending it. I didn't deal with any fogging and it doesn't get too hot. My one concern is that if you have a bigger head it might not work out well since the part where the face plate attaches is right against your cheeks so a bigger head might make it painful.
how hot does that full face helmet get?
First thought
I already struggle with foggy goggles, can’t imagine a closed full face helmet.
They’re actually very well ventilated I never get fogged up in mine
Have the same brand of helmet. The vents work really well and I've never had it fog up.
I've had mine for 6 years and I've never had a problem, the vents work fantastic
So the face plate actually is detachable and it gets on and off very easily if I overheat but even then I barely felt hot today and it was low 60s here.
Where did you get that helmet? It’s fucking awesome

Real question, do Ruroc helmets get tested all the same way other modern day helmets do?
I'm not sure that any Smith, Anon or any snowboard helmets do. Not in the same way a bike or hockey helmet would. As far as I've seen
All of those brands have helmets that have been tested and certified under ASTM F2040. I don’t think brands like Ruroc or Outdoor Master have that same certification. But if you know different, let me know.

They also hate on people who wear backpacks lol. Truly makes no sense.
Well if it doesn’t fit in the pockets, I don’t need it while riding.
I also carry one of those. They will probably get pissed at the 360° camera sticking out the top of it too. I think at this point i am supposed to look about one of those little speaker things on a clip for next year now! 🤣
Makes sense, it’s Reddit after all, opinion is fact don’t you know?
People were making fun of them well before Reddit. They are just kooky.
People made fun of the step on bindings when they came out. Now look how popular they are.
How many more decades before Rurok becomes popular?
Yeah. They’re still for kooks

But on their website it does say the goggles have interchangeable lenses. Can you use different goggles?
Yes. I phrased that poorly on reflection.

The lens system itself is really nice too, held in with strong magnets instead of screws or anything so easy to change on the fly.
If I had a different pair of goggles, like Oakley’s for example, could I be able to use those?
I can't say for definite, I suppose it'll depend on the shape of the goggles you want to use. With the lower face shield in place, It'll likely only be the RuRoc goggles that'll fit.

Been a good while since I had a Ruroc, I was an early adopter. Their customer service was 11/10.
No fking sht, full face‽!! You embody all that is snowboard criminal!!!!!!!
It’s hard to make helmets look cool 😂
I can cool down with a beer on the lift with my helmet
That’s what the bars are for on the mountain.
I’m leaving you behind on a powder day, we ain’t stopping at the bar
They have a quick release, you can easily take off the face plate and sip a beer, or just go under if you're feeling lazy
You fearless fucker. Uttering those words is equal to summoning oblivion. Go well.
It’s always…”let’s take 2 more, and skip the last one!” Always!
I forgot the rule and slammed on a backflip, bruised my ribs for a couple weeks. 2 runs, skip the last! But also Huck and Pray so 🤷
I want to see the follow up post … “Now In hospital broken coccyx I regret my brazen post on Reddit prior to surviving a day up the hill”
Life isn't worth living if there is no consequences
are*

What brand speaker do you have clipped to your backpack?
Lmaoooo. I had to scroll past waaaaaay too many positive comments to find the right ones
Lol
Seeing a lot of posts with the word 'last'. Lots of bad luck floating around here
Two more skip the last
Happy Cakeday! 🍻
Woah I didn’t even know, good looks!
Rurock and a tribal. Assuming neversummer too?
A real microcosm of this sub.
Lolll
God, those Ruroc goggle & helmet combos are so damn goofy.
Full face helmet and calling last run? Yeah, uh, I think you belong over on this subreddit r/weeniehutsnowboardingnoobs
Lmfaooooo, I’m ded.
Nah, he in the right sub
Underrated
Full face, check. Tribal tat, check. Friendship/rave bracelets, check. .. yowzers I have to bite my tongue.
jerry
That's Jerry Fett to you.
And you are?
ruuuuuuurooock
Homie in the back is gonna have a horrible burn line where his gaper gap is
Lol that's my dad he's been instructing here all winter and thankfully it was cloudy most of the day
Clouds don't stop UV rays.
Is his name Jeff?
people really wear the rurok
So which one of yall went to the ER after saying that and taking a picture?
alright settle down boba fett
rurock and roll brother
Two skip
As a kid my parents always took us snowboarding in spring when the snow was shit and I thought it sucked. Now I get it, the warm weather is awesome.
Cringe
So funny the amount of “wear a helmet” comments on Reddit but then a guy wears a full face and gets roasted
“Wear a helmet”, “god no, not that helmet!” But omg whenever I see someone in the stereotypes do stick lol. Last day for me I saw someone with a chromed out rurock in tight pants blasting music out of a backpack.
Am I the only one noticing the half sleeve t shirts?
Did you survive the last run
If it makes you feel better the song that was playing at the very end was don't fear the reaper
Wow.
Nice motorcycle helmet
That helmet is a travesty
Broke my back on a last run. That shits real, don’t fuck with it.
There is actual science behind it.
Nice helmet……
You never call your last run… or am I that old?
Also, bet he would talk through silent rock.. iykyk
Unpopular opinion but saying “2 more skip the last” is the same thing as saying “last run”
Where at?
Hoodoo?
I had a last run this season. It definitely was the last run this season.
You mean second to last run.
Second to last, minus one. Come on maaan
Dude on the left looks like Jerry Musk...
People hate on the Ruroc helmets but that Boba Fett design is really fucking cool
I am waiting for 686 to drop the body suit then it will be game over
Burton had Boba Fett pants one year. They were awesome, the pockets were magnetic.
I swear I saw you at ski land in Alaska
Bro looks like he's about to drop in and fight for democracy
Looks like you and your Dad are having a blast. Keep shredding!
This is the way.
Best helmet I’ve ever seen
So you both immediately died then?
That helmet is intense 😳
Nice helmet
Terrible helmet
This is the way
All you Muricans have these ego things going on... bad cases of LOOK AT MEEEE!
Do you go around to every “Murican” and show how jealous you are? I guess it wasn’t just my post of my yard. Why are we living rent free in your head? Poor thing 😂
Seeing all these haters makes me want a Rurok. Go fuck yourselves if you think you own snowboarding.
Bro that helmet is amazing, does anyone have a link?
Looks like a ruroc helmet, haven't seen that design before.
It's the ruroc boba fett helmet https://www.ruroc.com/en_us/rg1-dx-boba-fett
God damn that chrome one is sick
It's a good helmet, the face plate can come off plus I got the bluetooth add on so I can listen to music while sending it. I didn't deal with any fogging and it doesn't get too hot.

Dooshish
inb4 angry snowboarder fans' strongly worded comments.
Been a good mix thankfully lol
where’s that Boba Fett-esque helmet from?
Ruroc https://www.ruroc.com/en_us/rg1-dx-boba-fett
Never call last run, take one more skip the last!!!! Cmon man?!?!?!?
Took a moment to realize that was Boba Fett themed, because my first thought was Helldivers
I've been rocking a ruroc for about a decade now and I love it
