When should I replace my bike helmet?Â
Always replace your helmet after a crash, even if it looks fine, since absorbing an impact can weaken the materials. Without a crash, we recommend replacing your helmet every 5 years, since materials break down over time from everyday wear and exposure.Â
When should I replace my helmet liner?Â
There's no fixed timeline for liner replacement; it depends on wear and comfort rather than age. If your liner feels compressed or doesn't fit as snugly as it used to, a replacement liner can refresh the fit without needing a new helmet.Â
How can I protect my helmet while traveling?Â
A dedicated helmet bag is the easiest way to protect your helmet, rather than clipping it to the outside of a pack or duffel, where it can get scuffed or dented. The Smith Helmet Bag provides soft-sided, padded protection for your helmet.Â
