I was washing my helmet Bell RS-1 (3rd time since I bought it) after my last ride and the sticker on the styrofoam reminded me that maybe it time to pull the plug? I bout it in October 2017, but it looks like it was built in September 2013.
I did drop it couple times from my hands wen trying to put it on, but nothing than that.
And I don't see any cracks or anything suspicious on the styrofoam.
I know there is a "rule" to replace a helmet every 5 years, but I also read some articles in moto magazines saying it's kinda BS. More a marketing thing. Something like trying to convince you that the label on food "Best use before..." is the same as "Expired by...".
Any thoughts?
