Safety Compliance & Maintenance
To maintain optimal protection, 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 specific safety regulations with your sanctioning body before entering competition. To preserve the Matte Black finish, clean only with mild soap and water using a soft microfiber cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners or waxes.
