Ruroc helmets

Post by Itchy »

On my Facebook feed I've noticed a couple of my friends have liked the brand Ruroc. I've never heard of them before, just wondered if anyone else had...

The friends that have liked it are of a younger generation, but I'm thinking that I like them as well. Especially the one that comes in the same colour as my bike.

Seems they have grown from a winter sports helmet company. New to motorcycles.

Fwiw they haven't got the greatest rep' in the winter-sports fraternity.
I've never even worn one myself (my own snow lid is a Giro) but apparently they are considered "big-time kook identifiers" ?? :^

Well according to Google a kook is a mad or eccentric person, so one has to assume that a big time kook identifier is not a Bjork single, but that people who wear them are considered mentalists.

Or knob heads.

It does look a little hooligan-ish.

A "kook" is someone who's a little 'off'- but not usually in an unpleasant way. Just a little bit goofy, geeky, dorky, etc.

Those helmets look dope, brah.

Based on what I have seen on their website, I will be very surprised if they get through the EC22/05 accrediation for the UK which as you know is required before they can go on sale here.

Is this the same thing T.C?

I've got to be honest, I know much less about helmet safety than I should. Going by the mantra that "big names above £200 will see me right" probably isn't the best way to go about things.
