Hello!
I've got a bit of a problem. The dust from ridding is screwing with my allergies, and making ridding painful. Are there any helmets, goggles, masks, etc that can help cut down on the dust?

there are some like neoprene type mask things you can get to go over your face that are similar to the ones you get for snowboarding....i don't know how well they work, but i've seen them before...i've seen people ride with bandanas over their mouths too...idk...good luck!!!!

Welcome to the forum phone, yeah, the wet bandana trick works really good in the dust. But you're going to get stuff in your nose and throat no matter what you do. Sorry about your situation man, and I hope you come up with a solution that works, and you can share it here in the forum...

In addition to the other suggestions you might try a sanding mask you can get them at home depot or go to a drug store they should have surgical masks.
I don't know how cool they will be but either will keep the dust out.

They make rubber mask, companies like 3M, that come with flat pink cartridges that fit under welding hoods. They deep out everything including gases. I will see if I can find a link. As for eyes try some swimmers goggles. IDK
