Ruroc helmets

[legalskier]

I also want to design a system to carry collapsable poles specifically for snowboarders. I'm thinking something like a holster that could mount to the thigh or lower leg so it's out of the way and won't be a problem in a crash. Or maybe even something that could mount to the top of the board between the bindings... Either way, no more getting stuck on traverses or flat sections! I have a set that I keep in my backpack but it's a pain to stop, take the pack off, pull them out, put the pack back on and continue. Then when I get where I'm going, I have to break them down, take the pack off again...etc. I want to be able to pull them out, get where I'm going, and put them away with minimal down time, or maybe none at all if it can be done on the move.

Hilarious!! From the site "Quick to deploy from stored to extended in 5.2 seconds! (if you are quick)." Plenty of time to fall on your face as you approach the lift line. The website doesn't give a location, but this can only be the cockamamie concept of euros

You'd know better than me- I'm not a boarder. But it does fit his description.

I've seen those and they do work fairly well. I'm thinking I can do better. We'll see. I have an idea to vent exhaled air so that nothing gets wet.

That doesn't work. You have to have two poles. Using just one pushes you at an odd angle and makes you fight against yourself just to stay balanced. Two regular collapsible ski poles do the job perfectly. I have a pair of z poles by black diamond and they're great. Just need a place to secure them that is easy to reach and doesn't get in the way. If they are attached to your toe straps I'd imagine they'd be a problem when getting on and off lifts.

And that neck gaiter won't fog your goggles but it will get wet and freeze. Its a better option than a lot of masks though.
