Hey guys I was looking for a FullFace Helmet. My reasons for getting a FullFace are:
Ear and Chin Protection- If I fall on my face or side my ears wont get spaghettified and my chin wont get knocked up.
Wind and Bugs Barrier- As many of of probably have experienced the casual fly or bug that hits your eye or glasses I want to prevent that also during the cold days and such I wont be freezing to death.
Thats about it I know the TSG, and RuRoc are pretty popular among downhill riders since they are quality I am wondering what else is out there for me to consider?
I have also took into consideration buying a dirt biking helmet and googles but they are kinda a last resort if nothing else shows up thanks
Honestly … You can use various snowboard helmets… Better vision… And less mass as you turn your head …
Yeah no face protection but it’s a give and take
San Francisco has so much great stuff thrown out or on the side of the road and my last helmet was a kid’s size extra large. Saved me from a head injury at 28mph and still looks as good as the day I pulled it from the dumpster.
Feel a need for a full face though and just got this
Cool enough looking at 100$ but buying based on just a 6 inch pic on my screen and lots of good reviews like so many other helmets and we will see

Bell has a nice helmet on that site that is modeled on boba vet from Starwars and u can match it with ur avatar.
Last time I did this online helmet buying I returned it as soon as I tried it and was happy to have my 200$ back and be cozy in my free helmet.
if u don’t wear good eye protection I’d look into a shield or some good glasses
A few threads on this already, tsg pass and predator dh6 are up there. Note that tint visor doesn’t come with dh6, only an orange and a clear one does.
Here’s me with my dh6. It’s a bit long ish where the chin is. Another advantage of full face for me is that I can side mount gopro with good audio (you can see that on my other videos on YouTube).
That looks like the EXACT same helmet as the Demon Podium, but with a different visor and graphics. I love mine and that’s a great price for that helmet. Obviously @Randyc1 is a fan too.
Yea just a bit too much though for esk8, I never wear that anymore. I mainly got that for a racing motorcycle. But I do wear it when I go 30+. Will be worn again when I do max speed runs on the dual high kV carvon hubs on 12s with 97mm wheels. With a long flat stretch I’m hoping to get some numbers that no one else is crazy enough to match.
No I totally agree with you choosing to wear that if you plan 30+ … Full suit should be required at those speeds…since skin don’t seem to work well at those speeds.
I’m going to return my second fullface helmet because I feel unsafe with such a big thing wrapped around my head! Distracting, heavy, and blocks sounds. Sticking with the half shell
Does Evolve and Ruroc have like a deal with each other? Seems like every Evolve rider wears a Ruroc. Also can a Ruroc helmet built for snowboarding handle the same impact as a TSG Pass? I’ve never snowboarded so I have no idea.
