Rocker

Built to be worn backwards, like a ball cap. The brim is positioned so the helmet works either direction — bill forward for sun, or flipped, where it looks like nothing else on the road.

Worn backwards it does something useful as well as looking right: the brim sheds rain off behind you instead of letting it run down inside your collar.

One thing you should know before you buy: flip it and the DOT label ends up on the front. Some people don't care and some people do, so I'd rather you hear it from me than find out in the driveway. If it would bother you, buy the Trooper instead — same price, same weight, brim fixed forward, label where you'd expect it.

25 ounces.

• High-impact polycarbonate shell
• Removable Lycra® liner
• Wearable front or reversed
• 25 oz
• DOT certified — FMVSS 218 label on the shell

The liner comes out

Three reasons that matters. When the liner eventually wears out, you buy a liner, not a helmet. You can keep a second one in a different size for winter, when you're riding with a balaclava under the lid. And two people can share one helmet by swapping liners — one for you, one for whoever else is wearing it.

Replacement liners are $19.99. Ask me, or add one at checkout.

Shipping

If your size is on the shelf, it ships the next business day. If it has to come from the factory, that adds a few days — Badass turns them around quickly — and I'll email you the day you order to tell you which one yours is.
