STORAGE OF YOUR AFX HELMET
IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
We at AFX recommend that any helmet suffering any kind of impact
to the shell be removed from use immediately, whether there is visible
physical damage or not. A helmet is designed to deform in an
accident in order to absorb the energy of the impact, and should never
be reused afterwards for its ability to protect the rider further could
be compromised. Even a helmet dropped accidently on the ground or
any other hard surface could result in hidden unseen damage not
visible to the rider.
If you suspect the integrity of the helmet has been compromised in any
way please immediately discontinue its use and seek a suitable
replacement. If you are not sure what to do please contact AFX through
our website. Afxhelmets.com
Also its important to realize that wearing a helmet does not make you
indestructible, so we encourage you to enjoy riding responsibly, and to
always ride within the limits of your abilities.
HELMET REPLACEMENT RECOMMENDATION
The expected lifespan of an AFX helmet is 4-5 years of seasonal use,
and decreases accordingly as the frequency of use increases. As you
would expect, helmets used for competition such, as road racing and
off-road tend to have a much shorter life span. The more exposure a
helmet endures to the elements, body oils, and perspiration, the faster it
will wear out. In most cases the helmet liner will be the first component
to wear out and, as such, functions as a good indicator that a helmet
should be replaced. If you are not sure if your helmet should be replaced
please contact AFX through our website. Afxhelmets.com
