Helmets - Useful Info

I know many people have different understandings on what damages your helmet, whether if you drop it, you need to replace it...can you custom paint it..etc..etc...

When do you need to replace your helmet.

I believe most of the top makes are probably similar in construction and protection, but this interview with Arai and Jay Leno dispels many myths.

Dunno if this is in the right place or whether it may be worth a sticky as I know this has been a heavily discussed topic with many riders.

 

Very interesting, that explained a lot of misconceptions regarding helmets.

 

I like Jay Leno, great little video that and he's got my lid!

 

I now stand corrected

 

Very good video, thanks for posting it up Hoppie, Set my mind at rest actually because today I just ordered an Arai Quantum and was a bit worried it was too snug but Sam down at Heine Gericke Maidstone assured me it was the right size so I said yes with some hesitation. now I think she was right and I made the right choice. 20 years of riding and buying lids and I still struggle with the right size choice everytime I buy one!

 

brought one a new a couple of months ago did all the measurements and it fitted well, but now it has gone all lose on me

 

Your head shrunk mate ???
