Yeah ???? They say two years but I've fallen off in helmets older than that ...Originally Posted by skippa1
Mine fell off the seat (again) the other day .. it didn't go "crack" like it usually does .. it went more of a dull "kthunk" .. I think I need a new one ...

the recommended replacement age for a lid with NO crash damage IS 5 yrs.
So if you've fallen off in ones older than that?? guess the 'off' was the best thing to happen to them,,, (taking it that you destroyed them after the off)
