Video: Do You Really Need To Replace Your Helmet After Every Crash? Ben Cathro Investigates

The reason we advise against using devices attached to the helmet is that they clearly influence the impact dynamics and the helmet's performance. As you can understand, it's practically impossible to test all the devices available on the market (camera, light, etc.) in various positions on the helmets. But would be definitely cool to show some tests about it… Stay tuned

This is interesting! Although we recommend not using a helmet for more than 3 years, we often test helmets that we have stored for even longer periods. We can tell you that 8-10 year old helmets generally perform like new BUT, in our specific case, storage is the key. Infact, a helmet kept in ideal conditions in a warehouse ages differently than one exposed to heat, direct sunlight, varying temperatures, weather elements, sweat, mold, impacts, and washing. Can you imagine how unique the life of an helmet is (small crashes, sun exposure, branches, rain…), impossible to recreate it in our laboratory!

We know that concussions can occur even at much lower impacts. Recent medical studies indicate that the rotational component has a significant influence on the occurrence of concussions, which is why there is a great focus on rotational energy management systems in helmets. Our effort in testing helmets according to non-mandatory protocols, which are stricter than current certifications, staying way below the treshold, aims to produce more effective products, even at low speeds.

Thank you for your question; it's a really interesting topic. Each of our helmet models is designed and engineered for a specific use, this means we have models which are more racing oriented than others. However, during development, the challenge is to create a helmet that performs well across a wide range of scenarios. Even among professionals, crashes can happen at lower speeds as well. Recent medical studies indicate that the rotational component has a significant influence on the occurrence of concussions, which is why there is a great focus on rotational energy management systems in helmets. Our effort in testing helmets according to non-mandatory protocols, which are stricter than current certifications, aims to produce more effective products, even at low speeds. Additionally, regulations require professionals to compete with certified models available for purchase. Therefore, we don't have specific models just for them, what you find the shop is World Cup ready!
