Safety Compliance & Maintenance
The Snell Foundation recommends replacing your racing helmet every five (5) years from the date of manufacture. Over time, the protective performance of internal liners and resins may diminish. Always verify the specific safety regulations of your sanctioning body before competition. To maintain the Gloss Black finish, clean only with mild soap and a soft microfiber cloth; avoid abrasive chemicals that may damage the shell or visor coatings.
