Howsit! So i was thinking of the whole helmet expiry date thing and understand that the foam does loose texture and actually becomes useless from the head protection point of view. So they say average 5 years then one should have replaced a helmet but still you can buy a helmet off the shelf and it could have been sitting there for a few years now you think ok cool im good for a few years but its actually already expired. Can someone shine some light on this?
