The SMILE on my face when ruroc was the first words out of your mouth. Biggest confirmed scam ever. Thank you yammie. Thank you.

[tryan]

The ONLY riders I’ve ever seen wearing Ruroc helmets are content creators

I will take every ounce off my 65 year old neck that I can. Carbon fiber is a plus for me.

If you do really want a Gortex top and bottom and don’t want to break the bank, go to your local military surplus store and look for their waterproof pants/jackets. You’ll spend a fraction of the price and it’s all made to be thrown on over whatever you’re already wearing, including boots. Hope this helps.

Gore-Tex 'How often are people ridding in torrential down pours?' Clear Yammie hasn't been to the UK recently!!

Both my carbon helmets weigh very little. I weld for a living so I have to wear a helmet 8 hours a day at work. Hurts with my neck if helmets are too heavy. I have a full face for the cold and a dirt helmet for the summer. FXR dirt helmet is insanely light. Those couple pounds matter to some of us

Fortnine did an entire video on Gore Tex, and it's worth a watch.

On a trip in Canada in September the Temps changed from 25C and sunny to 1C and rain. Hard rain. I did 2 consecutive 700 km days In 1 degree and rain. My Klim riding suit kept me warm and dry. On hot days I open all the vents and the air flows through like I'm not wearing anything. If you're actually doing some miles you are going to ride through scattered showers. Not having to stop to put on rain gear is a big plus. And let's not forget the magic foam padding in all the critical areas that stays soft and squishy until it takes an impact and the kevlar panels in case of a slide. The colours match my bike perfectly as well. Love My Klim gear. Worth every penny

What you said about the tether not pulling is a very good reason to consider a wireless system but having to pay a subscription fee for your life saving equipment will ALWAYS be a scam.

Talking about helmet aero… if you’ve got a huge chunk of plastic hanging off the chin of it, you don’t care about helmet aero.

[leandersusan]

aero just looks soo fricking coool tho

[gtoramirez]

I’ve had several helmets including Ruroc Atlas 4. I’ll never pay the premium prices for helmets that Yammy recommends. Realistically I’m not racing, I’m just a daily rider. The Ruroc is great. Very comfortable and ECE rated. You can’t fake ECE. Also, they look freaking cool.

[ibrdpmp]

Yammie didnt even say hi, brother went straight to business with Ruroc

[moddes]

I ride with Rurocs EOX with shockwave that came for free - The best thing with that is that i can ride with my earplugs in and still hear the music in surprisingly good detail! Got an all white one i love the look, have had other people say how they like it. It meets safety standards like every other helmet and also who gives a shit if you want some star wars theme on your helmet or something? Do what you want, i think its fun they offer stuff like that why the hell not theres plenty of other brand helmets out there with some crazy designs on, get off your high horse. I agree they are more pricey than i'd like but they always seem to have sales on so its not horrendous.

3:20 As a wrestlers, those neck exercises, also known as neck bridges, are your bread and butter, and they are fun too!!!

[StripDreezy]

Nothing is more alluring to a new young rider than a ruroc helmet. I almost got one when I first started but thankfully I didn’t

[Florence]

This channel saved me from spending my money on ruroc. Thank you my goat Yammie. Got an AGV instead.

[SubZeroXJ]

Only thing i disagree with is specifically the HUD with the Ray-Bans or BMW ConnectedRide sunglasses, as they can both be used outside of just motorcycles. Aside from that, agreed on all fronts

[bebeonhisbike]

Many good points, but if you live in Norway, 3 layer Goretex, are a lifesaving technology, because weather and temperature can change in minutes. I just love it.

[discretionadvised]

So I work for a race team sponsored by Ruroc and our rider went down twice this season both times in a Ruroc. Still to his head in one piece undamaged. Take that for what you will but its enough for me as the mechanic to wear a ruroc in my personal life.
