I had a minute to make this short video of the un-boxing of my Les Ateliers Ruby Victoires Helmet. It's a French company with the actual manufacturing done in Hong Kong.

I'll check those out! Thanks!
Ariete and halcyon make good looking classic goggles. They may be too large to fit though. Those little guys may be better or maybe try them out from a company with a decent return policy.
It arrived early!
(the red one is Mrs TodkaVonic's. We're hoping It gets some use this year)
A few thoughts about fit. I've had good luck with 'long-oval' helmets, so Arai and AGV mostly. Of those, the Ruby is most like the former but less cushy in the interior, more leathery and, at least walking around my house, appears to have better visibility. The AGV I have is outstanding but it's also probably about half a size too large. I've also worn a Bell Bullitt and custom 500. Both nice and the visibility in the Bullitt really can't be beat, but a bit too 'round oval' for me, especially the 500, so some pressure at the forehead. The Ruby doesn't do that, but I guess I need a few hours with it on to confirm. Its definitely snug at the cheeks but that'll improve with time.
I asked for the red "Ruby" emblem on the forehead rather than the silver emblem with the faux ruby. An email and it was done. The visor is terrific but, as mentioned in several reviews, when you move it onto the forehead, you need to be careful of the snaps. Maybe I should've asked them to hold the snaps? or Maybe some little rubberized covers? The quality, everything right down to the box it was boxed in, is out of this world. If you feel like treating yourself, a Ruby helmet is a solid choice.

isnt it rogue one from HK?
i’ve seen the notice from Original Ruby
https://www.ateliers-ruby.com/ saying they are not producing any helmets since there was some license conflict..
btw it looks amazing: congrat
