Roux helmets

[dmann]

Anyone here have experience with Roux helmets? i am in the process of finding a new helmet and these are high on my list.

The pricing is really good and the mid level and up helmets come with built in comm.

No experience with Roux, but check out Black Armor helmets.

I bought a Roux helmet at my last track visit (VIR). I like the fit a lot and that it includes comms, cooling, and eject system.
I moved from Stilo, which I also liked a lot.
Fit is critical for any helmet, and since the nearest race shop is a long ways from me, buying at VIR was appealing.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the feedback!
I think fit is very important as well. The sa2015 helmet I currently feels like an egg shell, not very fitting or comfortable.

Sounds obvious but sometimes it’s forgotten.
When I bought the Stilo it took 1/2 hour of trying various combinations of cheek pads to get it right. If I had bought online I might never have gotten it right, so some of the race supply retailers are real good about allowing returns.
The Roux for me happened to fit right off the shelf.
Now I have to change the male plug on my communicator, though, as Roux uses the IMSA style, Stilo uses something else. I use a pro rally communicator when working with my students.
