When 120 km / h for motorcycles became cruising speed instead of top speed, the combination of helmet and motorcycle goggles ran into its limitations.

So there were Great Spirits who thought that helmets should offer more protection against the elements. And because simplicity is genius, they thought that the three snap fasteners, with which many jet helmets could already be fitted with a sun visor, could also be used to attach a plexiglass face shield to it. That was not a sight, but a fixed screen. And that is why it sometimes caused very exciting problems. After a splash of dredging water thrown up by a car, for example, you could no longer see anything. And sweeping resulted in stripes.

Then it turned out how handy it was to put such a screen on roof-robber-legend-blue-slanted-510x520There were versions that made that possible. And shortly thereafter, the first blown-off visors were found in the various verges.

Now there is the ROOF Rover. That helmet still looks basic enough not to joker with it on a classic. And it has an optically pure and well-protective visor.

The ROOF Rovers are off 249, - euros

The importer, who mainly consists of selling the somewhat tough menacing 'Boxer' system helmets in the cheerful colors of black and matte black, sees a bright future for his nicely priced newcomers.
