Do helmets need to be replaced after a certain time 

even if they are not damaged?

 

Answer: When it comes to helmet safety, prevention is always better than cure. While helmets may not show visible damage, they can still degrade over time due to factors like wear and tear, exposure to sunlight, and normal aging of materials. Therefore, it is generally recommended to replace helmets after a certain period.

Generally speaking, is suggested by industry guidelines for general use a helmet be replaced after 5 years, from the date of purchase, and up to 7 years from the date of manufacturing what ever comes first. It is also suggested that if your helmet is used for more than general use, like sporting activities then the replacement of the helmet should be replaced more frequently, for example, every 3 years, even if they appear undamaged.

 

By being proactive in replacing your helmet at the appropriate intervals, you ensure that you are consistently protected with the latest advancements in safety technology. Whilst during these interval periods we at The Helmet Doctors, with our state-of-the-art laser scanning technology, can identify even the slightest defects that may compromise the effectiveness of your helmet.
