Know the signs that it’s time to replace your helmet for better safety.

When to Replace Your Old Helmet

How old is too old?

Most helmets should be replaced after 3-5 years, even if they look fine.

Internal materials break down over time and may not absorb impact properly.

Damage and crash replacement

Replace helmets immediately after any significant impact.

Even minor damage can weaken the shell and reduce protection.

Fit and comfort changes

If the helmet no longer fits snugly, replace it.

Worn padding and lining can make an old helmet uncomfortable and less safe.
