man i dunno...i really like the innovation behind the new style in the bad lieutanent helment, but every time i see one it just looks absolutely ridiculous
^Why would you put stickers all over it to cover it up. The helmet is made to look different and to look like *gasp* a military style helmet. Why would you buy it, just to cover it up, does it bring you some sort of social status to have a Bad Lt?
Why would you need more back of the head protection? The brim juts outwards thus creating a barrier between your head and the ground. You would have to have a direct impact with a relatively small object.

They say life is like ice cream, uve got to enjoy it before it melts. Thats why i go skiing, to keep my icecream cold.
Unless you fabricate your own helmet or wear a non ski helmet you're gonna have to deal with people having the same helmet. God you kids are so fucking self conscious and absolutely dying to be original.
I've never been a fan of helmets personally but we just got some Giro's and I must say I'm stoked on the Bad Lt. if only for the absolutely sick audio system.
Audio Series II helmets have all the necessary cables to run your iPod AND your cell phone at the same time. It even comes with a handsfree unit with a mic so you can answer your phone without digging into your pockets. The external volume control for the music source makes taking phone calls the easiest thing ever.
Maybe I get too hyped up on some of this tech shit but props to Giro for basically making a prodcut that I've always wanted.
