I imagine you might have trouble taking it back when you have an off and it does nothing to protect your head. You never know, do they have wheelchair access?

[caspernz]

Wow...a helmet that old is only good as a planter box I'd think?

[MSTRS:Me]

Conventional wisdom says a helmet should be replaced after a bin, any sort of impact or after 5 years use. Plenty of us push the envelope a bit on those points, but...
One that has no known history and is 22 years old?

When buying a new helmet, how do you know it hasn't been dropped in the factory by a careless employee or in the shop it was bought from? A "new" helmet might not always be so new after all.

I would have thought a 20 year-old helmet is not acceptable for road use. Not on my head anyway. (with or without a visor)

As you say ... common sense really ...

There is never a valid reason to abuse cooks ... or pay clerks ...
