How old is your Helmet?

I just got a new Nicky Hayden Laguna Seca Corsair X Arai helmet, and I am really excited. One reason is I knew and loved Nicky and am proud to wear his helmet design, and two, my helmet was over 5 years old and in need of replacement. And three…it’s an Arai!

You may not know it is generally recommended that you replace your helmet after 5 years of use. Even if you only wear it occasionally. The glues, foam and materials deteriorate over time which lessen their ability to protect you properly.

I only have worn only one brand of helmet since I retired from racing 37 years ago, and that is ARAI. Arai is, hands down, the highest quality, safest, most comfortable, and coolest helmet on the market! It blows me away how I can talk on the phone through my Sena comm system at freeway speeds, with no windshield, and it’s like talking to someone in my living room! The aerodynamics, comfort and build quality are absolutely awesome. My dear friend, Sammy Tanner, who sadly passed away recently turned me on to Arai when I was racing. I was gobsmacked at how much better it was than the helmet brand I was using. I used only Arai for the rest of my racing years.

Regardless of the brand you wear please wear a full face helmet that is DOT and Snell approved. Open face helmets may look cool but after all these years I know that full face helmets are safer and more comfortable. Even when it’s really hot outside.
