Does the helmet have an expiration date?

Currently, our highway code does not provide any “expiration date” for motorcycle helmets. The “duration” of a safety device like this varies mainly according to the use, both in terms of quantity and quality. However, it must be considered that the materials used for helmets production are subject to normal wear and tear, therefore it is a good rule to periodically check the condition of the product by carefully analyzing its integrity, as well as always keeping it clean and following the rules of proper maintenance, that you can find

Deep scratches on the shell or visor, stains that have not been cleaned in time and that have become persistent, worn and bruised straps and inner linings can be alarm bells, in these cases it is good practice to replace the damaged parts or, if this is not possible, change the helmet directly. In case of an impact or accident, however, it is good practice to check the helmet integrity as soon as possible. In this sense, specialized retailers can provide a valid opinion and, if they consider it appropriate or necessary, they could decide to send the crashed helmet directly to us, in our factory, for a further and more accurate check.

These tests are essential to ensure that the product has not suffered structural damage, fulfilling their function of absorbing the energy generated by the impact. If problems of this nature are found, the helmet must be replaced as it is no longer able to guarantee the original safety and protection standards.
