December 4, 2024

Built for the Mountain, Made for Every Rider

GLOUCESTER, England – December 4, 2024 /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Ruroc, a global leader in winter sports protection, proudly introduces the RG2 helmet. As the world’s only full-face snowsports helmet, the RG2 is the culmination of 15 years of direct feedback from Ruroc’s snow community and professional athletes.

Building on the success of the original RG1, the RG2 pushes the limits of what’s possible in a snow helmet, with significant advancements in safety, comfort, and performance. Its full-face design maximizes protection while breaking category boundaries with the Magnetic Mask System—a modular feature that lets users easily remove the helmet’s chin piece while wearing gloves. The RG2 offers industry-first adaptability, with both full-face and open-face riding options.

“We’ve worked closely with our community—from regular riders to elite athletes—and their feedback has shaped every aspect of the RG2,” said Hollie Weatherstone, Head of Brand at Ruroc. “It’s been designed to exceed expectations on the slopes, offering superior safety, comfort, and style.”

Designed for riders who demand both safety and comfort, the RG2 incorporates the advanced rotational and linear impact protection technology RHEON™. Additionally, the helmet includes a built-in twICEme® NFC chip, enabling riders to store critical medical information that can be easily accessed by first responders in emergencies and a 360º Fit System that offers a secure, customizable fit for all head sizes

“The RG2 isn’t just an evolution; it’s a complete re-imagining of what a full-face helmet can be,” said Tom Savage, Head of Engineering at Ruroc. “Our focus was on building a helmet that improves on our high safety standards, while maintaining rider comfort and enhancing performance. The RG2 is lighter, smarter, and more intuitive to use—it’s truly a game-changer.”

For added enjoyment on the slopes, the RG2 is equipped with the Cardo® Communication System powered by JBL sound. The system allows riders to stream music, take calls, connect with GoPro, and stay linked with up to 15 others using a mesh network.

Awarded the 2024 ISPO Award, the RG2 is recognized for its innovative design and advanced safety technology that set it apart in the snow sports industry. Find the full RG2 Collection at ruroc.com with an MSRP starting at $379 (including RG2 goggles).
