Time for a new helmet?

[XmisterIS]

7 years old this year. The one i had before that bit the dust when i was on l plates and binned my 125. This one still fits fine, nothing broken (apart from one of the air vents) but it is now 7 years old.

Yes you need a new one!

Not for any reason but just because you can

Impossible to say if it's degraded at all.

To be fair if it's been used regularly then I'd be tempted to change it, only get one head blablabla etc

Hats off to you for having just one helmet for 7 years, I seem to have a few lol.

I would say yes get another, various reasons but mainly because you never know.

Fun shopping! Yes you need a new one because new things are betterererer

Maybe look at some summer gloves at the same time

They certainly are! My current helmet gives me a headache after about 4 hours, always has done.

Guaranteed the padding will have suffered some degree of deterioration by now....get rid of it.

Try on as many as you can to get the best fit for your head shape.

I'm a round head.....so Shoei and HJC are always good fits! Whereas an Arai feels like I've got my head jammed in a vice.
