    Are those the famous beer goggles my friends keep telling me about?!

    Somehow I always seem to find a pair about half way into a night out, but when I wake up the next morning they're no where to be seen and I can't ever remember wearing them!

    The goggles are from RuRoc. The beer glass is just that :)

    Got it cheap by ordering online from Board Store's skateboard helmets website on their Christmas discount. It is super comfortable and simply i love wearing it.

    I use a Predator DH6 since it was literally the cheapest full face longboard helmet I could find. I also plan on getting a Bern Macon for the more casual, lower distance rides.

    I don't really like the color though (other color options were more expensive). Should I wrap it in carbon fiber or spray paint it matte black? I'm getting a mirror visor though.

    Mirrored visor would look pretty pimpin' :cool:

    You might want to be careful completely blacking it out. Having some bright colours are real important for visibility to be seen by motorists.

    Stealth might look look really cool in theory, but it's no good if you do much road riding and want to ensure drivers see you and steer clear.

    Check out airmikeyy's setup. It looks pretty crazy, but as a commuter it's very safe outfit meaning he's much more likely to make it to his destination in one piece!

    Protect classic (Satin Black) Classic - Satin Black (Certified)

    Comfy but scratches real easily. E.g. connect helmet to backpack, put backpack on board when chilling, grip tape scratches up my helmet. Looks like I've come off when I haven't.

    Bell Super 2r MIPS with the face guard pretty much always there. I wasn't sure if I'd like the full face style. It'll get replaced with a full face downhill mtb helmet when it's ready to retire. I've also worn a Triple 8 halfshell that I'd love to know which one it was because it wore out and I'd like a replacement. I've probably had at least a half dozen different motorcycle helmets (for the motorcycle though) and a ski/snowboard helmet that occasionally serves as a cold weather helmet for other things as well. . .

    well....I finally ordered a helmet as I found a nice way to combine safety with visibility. It has Stealth Reflective Technology so it looks like a normal black helmet by day and the special reflective coating makes you visible to cars at night https://triple8.com/product/gotham-darklight/

    Nice helmet, the one I tried was not as black as I wanted so I bought the normal Gotham.
