3.How often do you change a helmet? The time-line of changing a helmet.

When ever i feel like it. But shelf life is 3 years. To be strict is 1.5years.

 

1.5 - 3 years?

 

thought was 5?

 

remembered reading from Shoei site their helmets are warrantied for 5 years from sale or 7 years from manufacture and i immediately relate that to the helmet life, else they wouldn't dare warranty it right?

 

first question here:

http://www.shoei-helmets.com/FAQ.aspx

 

Shoei F.A.Q.

 

What does the warranty on my SHOEI helmet cover?

Your Shoei helmet is covered under warranty for five years from purchase date or seven years from the date of manufacture, whichever comes first. The warranty covers all manufacturing defects. Please note that damage caused by the consumer, (i.e. dropping the helmet), etc., is not covered under warranty.

If you are referring to the helmet, its fogging up of the visor. When lifting up the visor, the rain will hit your face so hard that it hurts.
