Title: Helmet Replacement Poll
Post by: ruSTyEB on March 14, 2013, 11:50:26 AM

Excluding collectables, and helmets with nostalgic value, how often do you replace your main-use helmet?

Usually 2-3 yrs due to chin strap wear.

We bought our current ones in 2009 sometime. Still quite good but we're planning on at least a new one for me late this year and Heather next year.

The WA Police replace their helmets every 2 years (or they did upto a couple of years ago anyway) due to being worn every day and in all weather's.

I believe that the standard is approx 5 years so that's what I'll be doing.

If I made a good choice about 3 years of average wear.....but a bad choice years ago made it halfway through its second ride. Even my Shark Evoline2 got replaced halfway home from Middelton when it only 2 years old.
