Hi,
Looking for some advice on new old
Stock helmets.
I have a few helmets that I have had from new and only worn once in 7-8 years so
Decided to get a new lid!
Looking at an Arai VX3 Wingflame,
My question is..
This new old stock helmet is 7 years old!
I know it's never been out of the box
But my helmets have not been out of my cupboard either.
Is it a good idea to buy a new ! 7 year old
Helmet to save 150 bucks,
Does a BNIB helmet deteriate ??
Any advice greatly appreciated

that was my opinion also,
ill go for a new model, and pay the extra bucks
The Shop
Love the helmet. More comfortable than the Shoei imo.
Yes expensive. But I spent at least that much on my Pro Circuit exhaust. I've had a couple concussions over the years so as the saying goes, you can't put a price on your head.
Ran it for 6 hrs, and wrecked it real good.. highsider and head took the hit first. concussion and my forehead were yellow/blueish.
I felt real safe in the helmet and stood up and walked away with no issues besides the little concussion and a stiff neck.
bought a new one that waits when I can moto again.
If you look closely you can see a crack at the forehead also.
The sweat salt rusts and corrode the heads. Seen many pop off in my time in hard crashes.
Most people should just proactively replace their helmet after a really good digger as the best policy. I'm not worried about my $500 helmet breaking down in 5 years, that's ridiculous.
