librider Posted June 23, 2005 Report Posted June 23, 2005 Alright its time for a new helmet and i was wondering if anyone has/had the shaun white helmet. I hear it is the lightest helmet out? is it really that light? Also where did you get it and how much did you pay? The msrp is 110$ and that kind of expensive. Thanks Also i have a prefect condition gyro bad lutient. Its size medium and only been worn 3 times. Also they have the Tune ups so you can listen to music. They sell for 60 and only been worn 3 times so how about 30$ OBO. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted June 24, 2005 Report Posted June 24, 2005 $110 for a helmet expensive? I paid $150 i think for my Scream Cut Pro, and so did Thinksnow I dink (skidude has the same helmet too). Can't really put a price on safety. Quote
Ski Posted June 24, 2005 Report Posted June 24, 2005 Speaking of helmets, Rossignol now has a line: I think I paid $39 for my lid...I'm still alive. Quote

They probably had some leftover paint, so they decided to use it up on your helmet, that's why it's so cheap Quote
skifreak Posted June 24, 2005 Report Posted June 24, 2005 Helmets are expensive but its well worth it. I think mine was $135 at nestors but it was the previous years model and it came down in price to $85 with a discount I had. With my mother doing the job she does, I don't really have a choice so I wear the helmet. My friends make fun of me but I just tell them its a chick magnet. Quote

And chicks dig it---I see 'em stairing all the time. Quote
Glenn Posted June 24, 2005 Report Posted June 24, 2005 Ahahhahaa, I paid $60 for mine. You guys have been had... Quote

Can't really put a price on safety. 27928[/snapback] my boys Giro's were $140 -3 yrs ago. Ski shop prices, BTW getting a replacement visor (too many face plants) has been next to impossible. Giro didn't answer an email - and ski shops have directed me to look on line... Quote
librider Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Posted June 24, 2005 the shaun white dosnt have a visor. It suppose to be the lightest helmet on the market Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted June 24, 2005 Report Posted June 24, 2005 I dont like the shaun white helmet. It didnt fit to well and the helmet made a weird whistling sound when you ski. Quote
librider Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Posted June 24, 2005 do you still have yours? would you like to sell? Quote
Sno Mountain Skier Posted June 24, 2005 Report Posted June 24, 2005 It wasnt mine. It was my friends and he didnt like it either so he traded helmets with my other friend for a grio helmet. I would ask the kid who has it now but he live in seaside hieghts for the summer. Quote
AtomicSkier Posted June 25, 2005 Report Posted June 25, 2005 Since my helmet is a full cut, i have hard earpieces, and sometimes the wind comes in through the earpiece just the right way, and it sounds like someone is blowing a whistle at you. I'm sure Greg and Adam know what I'm talking about, I always turn around cause i think skipatrol is after me Quote
Gurp Posted June 25, 2005 Report Posted June 25, 2005 i gotta say 3 words. Giro Bad Lutenient. It make look stupid and not give you as much support as a helemet should but it is really comfortable. Quote
Ski Posted June 25, 2005 Report Posted June 25, 2005 It make look stupid and not give you as much support as a helemet should but it is really comfortable. 27979[/snapback] I wonder if they use that in their ads? Quote
insomniac Posted June 25, 2005 Report Posted June 25, 2005 I have a Giro 9mx (the one with the visor) and its super light and comfortable. The visor doesnt really work with snowboarding, but you can get without. I'd look into it, although its a bit pricy. Andrew, I think your helmet is a heavy hunk of shit that sits on top of your head and is as far from comfortable as imaginable. Quote
zaldon Posted June 25, 2005 Report Posted June 25, 2005 I wonder if they use that in their ads? 27980[/snapback] thats genius... wait isn't that the idea of hotrods Quote
Justo8484 Posted June 27, 2005 Report Posted June 27, 2005 yeah the bad lieutenant is probably the worst looking helmet i have ever seen. i really like my 9.9, like craige said its super light, really comfy, and does a good job of keeping your ears warm while still being able to hear. the tune ups are nice too. Quote
Shadows Posted June 28, 2005 Report Posted June 28, 2005 why does everyone hate the bad leiutenant? i think it looks kinda cool the only thing i dont like about it is it doesnt have vents, but whatever for 30 bucks...its mine Quote
