S-Westerly Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 After yesterday's epically wet ride I had to dry out all my gear which was no surprise. What was a surprise was this afternoon when I came to put my helmet away the inside was positively reeking. It smelt as if something had died in it. (I checked and nothing has).I know I can remove the liners and wash them but I don't particularly like doing so. Anybody know any cunning wheeze to avoid having to do this? Quote

Bar holding your breath for the duration of your ride which isn't advisable you could try frebreeze or the like or you will have to bite the bullet and wash them Quote

Dry it first with hair dryer, leave it to cool down, than use car interior cleaner.It worked for me, after yesterday, 8 or 9 hours under the rain on motorways speeds it was raining inside the helmet.

Marino Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 Next time if you don’t use balaclava, try to use it. It helps a lot. Quote
S-Westerly Posted June 19, 2020 Author Posted June 19, 2020 Bit late for the hair dryer but I'll try the interior cleaner. Only wear a balaclava when it's really cold as I don't like a hot head. Wife suggested spraying the inside with Lynx. Then it'd smell like a rugby club changing room! Quote
Marino Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 And light balaclava for summertime will help a lot. Quote
Marino Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 If not balaclava then something to cover your hair, or if you are bald same thing, you don’t want hair and skin on your helmet liner. That make it smelly Quote
S-Westerly Posted June 19, 2020 Author Posted June 19, 2020 Looks as if I'm just going to have to wash liners as I am not wearing a balaclava unless it's less than 7 C outside. As for hair - I wish! No.3 cut all over. Quote

No.3 cut all over. Bloody hell mate you could almost put it in a ponytail then, best off going #1 all over Quote
S-Westerly Posted June 19, 2020 Author Posted June 19, 2020 No.3 is less than 10mm so it's not quite pony tail and it at least stops the worst of the sunburn. Quote
Guest Richzx6r Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 I generally go for #1 every month or two Quote
