Anyone any idea what this lid that Mr Rude is wearing is?

yeah both Yeti riders were wearing them, testing a new lid from Giro

Reminds me of proper oldskool Enduro*. 🙂
*Engine powered.

Didn’t Urge do something similar a while ago?

Reminds me of the old TLD lid with the bolt on chin guard from the late 90’s. Always really wanted one but couldn’t afford one.

No idea, but here’s a rude saddle.

New switchblade

Cheers jam bo.

Who knew that these were so far ahead of their time!

Ahead of time?

Try 1990.

in the EWS vids you can see the bits the chin guard clips into.

Switchblade available next month I think

That’s what I was on about Captain.

I really, really wanted one back in the day – on fact, I still do!

I had one, and in fact just found it hidden away not too long ago and chucked it. In fact it was the one I got to replace the one that cushioned my head when it hit a tree. Loved it. I mainly got one because I have a big (63cm) and oval head and there wasn’t a lot of choice, but really got to love it and was really pleased I had a chin guard when I hit that tree. Big bruise across most of the head and face, but I shudder to think what I’d have had if I’d had less helmet on.
