Checking the helmet must be something we do regularly to ensure that the helmet can still work properly. The following five suggestions are given by the editor:
1. Visual inspection
"It is very important to regularly check the helmet for damage. Whether it is degraded over time or damaged due to other external factors, ensure that everything works as it should - such as the sun visor mechanism and integrated sun visor.
Also check the inside of the helmet. Remove the liner (if your helmet liner can be removed, of course) and check for any visual damage or discoloration. If there is any damage, it should be time to replace the baby. If you have any questions, you can also take the helmet to the local dealer, who will also be willing to provide you with professional advice.
2. Keep clean
My advice is to clean it after every ride. All helmets - whether carbon fiber or thermoplastic - should only be cleaned with mild soapy water or approved helmet cleaner. Avoid using water at too high a temperature, and do not wash on hard surfaces or floors. If there is some dirt on the helmet surface, gently wipe it with a wet paper towel. The best tool to clean the vent is a cotton swab.
3. Don't forget your mask
If you don't care about the sun visors being scratched or greasy, they will not be able to complete their work better. First, remove the sun visor and check for scratches, which may scatter light pollution from car headlights or sunlight.
To clean, clean both sides with mild soapy water. If your sun visor is equipped with an anti fog coating such as Spartan Carbon or Race-R Pro, don't worry. Both can be cleaned with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly in clean water and dry naturally - this ensures that there are no streaks. If there is any crack or damage, I recommend you replace it. "
4. Clean lining
"From the perspective of hygiene, it is very important to keep the inside of the helmet clean and smelly, which can protect the life of your cover. You may think that the helmet is worn from the outside - because this is where all weather and road dirt attack - but in fact, it is from the inside out, because sweat destroys the EPS lining from the inside out, so most helmets are worn out rather than worn out Of.
"If your helmet has a removable lining, you can take it out and wash it by hand. Some linings can be machine washed, but I prefer to wash them by hand. I think this can thoroughly wash and remove all dirt. Before reinstalling, let the lining board dry naturally. For those helmets without removable lining, put them upside down in the bathtub - wipe them with a towel to avoid damaging the helmet, and then use flowers Rinse the sprinkler head and dry it thoroughly. "
5. Check whether it is suitable
I talk to many people who actually wear the wrong size helmet, because they think that the size of the helmet is always the same in all models and all brands, which is not completely correct. Whether the motorcycle helmet is suitable for you is very important - not only for rider comfort but also for safety. Do not wear helmets that will give you headache in 10 minutes. There are a series of helmets that are suitable for your head shape. You can also use cheek pads of different thicknesses to further improve the fit.
