Trooper

Brim forward, and it stays that way. The strap placement means the Trooper can't be flipped the way the Rocker can — so if reversing it is what you were after, buy the Rocker instead.

What you get in exchange is a real brim where you actually want one: sun out of your eyes, rain off your face. Clean, plain, 25 ounces, and most of its appeal is that it doesn't try anything.

• High-impact polycarbonate shell
• Removable Lycra® liner
• Fixed forward brim — cannot be worn 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.
