So i went over the bars in the qualification in the weekends race and hit my head. I examined the helmet after the race and found this.
The middle red layer has clearly taken an impact, i guess it wont hold up in the next crash?

It did its job, i got a sore neck, shoulder and back but i didn't get a concussion.
Have them check it before chucking it..........
The problem with shipping it out to Bell is the cost. I can get a brand new Flex helmet for 350€.
No offense to you jack or your advice. I'm sure you are gentleman and a scholar, but the comedy writes itself.
When I called, the lady on the phone did everything she could to dissuade me from sending mine in and was trying her best to sell me a new helmet instead. I was adamant about wanting to get mine checked, however, and so that's what I did. I cleaned the helmet up and it looked surprisingly good. I purposefully didn't tell them which part of the helmet I was concerned about because if they found something, they should be able to tell me.
Well, they didn't find anything wrong the helmet but told me they still couldn't recommend wearing it again and that I should buy a new one. From them. Right now on the phone.
She said they never recommend wearing a helmet that has hit the ground regardless of if they find damage or not. I asked "Then why do you even offer the inspection service?". I don't even remember her answer but I'm sure it didn't make any sense.
