RuRoC Helmet Construction
The basic helmet design uses two main sections made up of an internal liner (EPS) and a hard external shell (ABS). Multiple recessed pathways have been removed from the normally smooth EPS. This allows air to circulate and pass between this and the ABS external shell. Strategically located air intake apertures provide a constant source of forced air which is increased through motion giving the wearer more ventilation when they need it most.
The pathways formed in the EPS are crossed by a series of apertures in the ABS shell that penetrate both layers directly to the wearers head. This allows the warm air created by the wearer to rise directly up and into the pathways where the controlled intake air mixes, drawing and pulling it away causing a cooling effect. During movement the helmet is continually regulated with a fresh supply of vented, turbulent air flow.
The shell and mask are made from a fire retardant blend of ABS plastic, water based paints and fire retardant plastics are used throughout the unit.
Goggle Technology
The goggles, (Polypropylene) have been specifically designed to create a sealed marriage with the helmet, incorporating more vent channels to circulate redundant air. The material is flexible, contoured to the shape of the face and surrounded by soft foam cushioning.
The vents turn wind interference into an advantage creating a controlled level of air flow and maintaining a constant antifogging process. This used air is then channeled into the helmet via the EPS pathways as before. The main air intake spaces are located at the bridge between goggle and helmet. This join has gaps allowing the direct driving air or wind pass into the EPS pathways.
The goggle also houses the largest available lens providing unsurpassed peripheral vision. The lenses are UV400 protected, vacuum sealed and are anti-fog coated on the interior. The goggles are also held securely in place with an expandable elastic strap allowing them to be worn as a separate piece altogether.
