Where do you put your glasses when you don't want them on your nose? The solution with the new Race Master racing bike helmet from Rudy Project is called the Eyewear Dock.

Unlike most helmets with a goggle garage, where the goggle temples are clamped to the front of the helmet, the new Race Master from the Italian brand Rudy Project has them at the back. Here, the temples disappear into side shafts without touching the head, while two retaining lugs serve to secure them. This solution works very well when stationary, but requires riding skills on the road, as parking the goggles with one hand may require several attempts. The top helmet, which costs 250 euros (300 euros with MIPS), is available in five colours including two sets of pads, one of which is equipped with a large fly net.
