Helmet question

Colette · Post by **Colette** » Fri Aug 04, 2006 12:38 pm

The cheekpad from my Arai helmet has started to come out (the side where the long part of the chin strap pulls through).

Has anyone had this happen before and does it just mean that I need to buy new cheek pads for it? Helmet is about four years old.

If it's four years old Colette and you wear it pretty well every day, it's probably time to go helmet shopping. 3 to 5 years is about the safe life limit. 3 if you wear it a lot, 5 if you don't.

Go for that big Arai that was at the bike show

That's the one. You'll have no visibility problems in traffic. Might want to ask for extra padding though
