So Ruroc isn't cool, but what's the verdict on other full face helmets?
If you're not Seth Morrison you probably shouldn't wear a full face.
Alternately, there is a guy who shows up in a moto helmet occasionally and throws huge lincoln loops. This qualifies him as skiing like Seth and excuses the helmet.
POC makes full faces, but you have to be the gnarliest big mountain sender to pull them off. There are three people I know of on the planet who can wear these and not look like jerries.

I´ve been wearing one for two years now with a neckbrace, broke my neck freeriding, somehow managed to survive it and get out of the paralysis. Since the surgery my neck movement is limited by 50% compared to you guys, so this new helmet/brace combo is a must for me, but i love it. I have a TOBE Helmet, i wear it without that visor thing, it looks dope and it doesn´t get cold or too warm. I paired it with a pair of Oakley LineMiners and have nothing to complain about visibility-wise, apart from my personal restrictions.
After all the times I've heard of people bashing their face on their knees on a shitty cliff landing I'm surprised full face helmets aren't more common

Now I'm forever watching for knee-face smashes in films lol
BiffbarfIf you could ski in that all day without it getting fogged up nearly instantly I'd give you the most crisp of high-fives
In theory it shouldn't fog. The visor piece is antifog, and there is a dehumidifier device at the mouth. If anything, I can take the visor off and put goggles on.

i agree, that shit is really common especially if you're trying to stomp (as opposed to tubbing the landing)
i'm actually a little surprised it's not more common for freeride helmets to have that single bar option that some racers use. seems like a good compromise

As FWT grows, I imagine they'll expand safety gear requirements beyond a helmet and B,P,S.
Maybe we'll start seeing chin bars come into play?
Knee pads and back protectors seem to only just be starting to hit the mainstream

Chin bars are not core, no one actually wears them
If a gate hits you in the chin, you just take it like a man

I don't think you realize that most chinbars don't do shit for hitting snow, rocks, or trees with your face. They are only for protecting you from gates, which as @abar. said is some pussy shit

i think i understand the concept just fine lol, it's the exact same as those 1-bar kicker helmets in football
I had a Ruroc years ago, and I liked it for about a month and got board of it. It was nice when being towed behind a snowmobile, but the rest of the time I just looked funny and was really hot and couldn't breathe well. I never hit my face in a way that it would have been helpful. The day I got a normal helmet my ski popped off in the park and hit me in the face and I cut my face. Lol
