GIRO BAD LIEUTENANT™ You already know if this is the helmet for you just by looking at it. A true free-ride helmet for riders that session the park, and everything else on the mountain as often as humanly possible. Don’t run it if you can’t commit. The Bad Lieutenant is standard-issue gear for opening new frontiers on advanced maneuvers around the globe, and there will be no prisoners in this movement.
Product Description
Offering military styling, this snowboard helmet features an injection-molded construction bonding a durable, high-impact ABS shell to an EPS liner. Removable, injection-molded earflaps lock directly into the liner, which can be removed for washing. An adjustable, padded chinstrap keeps the helmet in place.
The helmet comes in extra-small, small, medium, and large sizes. Depending on size, it weighs approximately 19.5 ounces. An extra-small helmet fits a head with a circumference of 20.5 inches to 21 inches. A small helmet fits a head with a circumference of 21 inches to 22 inches. A medium helmet fits a head with a circumference of 22 inches to 22.5 inches. A large helmet fits a head with a circumference of 22.5 inches to 23.25 inches.
About Giro Working late nights in his garage, designer/bike racer Jim Gentes created the first lightweight adult cycling helmet in 1985. Friends at NASA helped tune the final helmet shape and vent placement, and the result was the Giro Prolight, a helmet that was better looking than traditional designs while offering a superior fit and still met the industry's toughest safety standards. Plus, it was half the weight of traditional helmets. Since then, Giro has advanced its helmets, many of which have set the standards for styling, function, and innovation for progressive, performance-oriented riders on dirt, pavement, and snow. Giro helmets are worn by millions of riders, cyclists, skiers, and snowboarders around the world. Young-bloods and old-timers; hard-cores, heshers, and hipsters; rookies, experts, and a few regular Joes too--in fact, pretty much anyone that appreciates superior fit and function, cutting edge styling, and the very best ideas you get in a helmet.

First of all, awesome helmet. I ride in Vermont for reference: COLD winters! This helmet kept my head and ears warm, the ear flaps have little mesh panels so you can still hear really well. The ear flaps as well as the liner panels inside the helmet are removeable for washing. Helmet is lightweight. Fits fine with goggles and has a snap strap on the back to hold your goggle strap in place. But really though, regardless of all this, you know at first glance if this is your helmet or not!

I have the version wrapped in white leather. I love the helmet! It looks sweet. It's very comfortable. The Tune-Ups (Giro/Skullcandy) work amazing. Make sure that you get the Tune-Ups that have buttons and not just tabs. I had to send the first ones back, but they are worth it. So convenient and very loud.
The only thing that I would mention is that it holds heat pretty well. On warm days you'll probably want to take it off when you stop.

About three years ago I obtained the "bold " Bad Lieutenant. I'm over 40 and frequented the mountains since I was 13. Back in those days cars didn't have any airbags and such. After snowboarding more and more extreme me and my backcountry pall got more and more aware of the dangers. Cars have become saver too and they look cool ( mostly ) But what to wear on your head when riding deep powder with hidden rocks ? Giro came with the solution; The one and only Bad Lieutenant. Don't worry about ventilation....there is none. Who needs it anyway. It's war out there, just look cool when you crash, the Bad Lieutenant provides.
