These luxury motorcycle helmets are modern in design but retro in inspiration (the chrome-plated trim round the edge of the helmet, the steel badge and the claret-colored lining made from nappa Lambskin which is reminiscent of the beauty of vintage sports cars…)
All Ruby helmets are manufactured from carbon fibres, a technology from the aerospace industry that guarantees maximum strength, ultra lightness and multiple air channels keep allow for ventilation to keep your head from getting overheated
Jerome Coste sold his own motorbike to finance his production. “As soon as I sell enough helmets,” he says, “I am going to buy myself a new ride, probably a Triumph.” he said: “Guarantee the security and style of the heroes and heroines of everyday life.” It gives me almost want to spend my motorcycle licence …
A variety of colors and patterns are available - tere is even a line that is painted by Parisian graffiti artist, Honet, that sports a variety of colors and patterns.
Ruby helmets cost 550 euros or ($1100) and are available at L’Eclaireur, Colette….
