As is the nature of a good helmet, this helmet is so
constructed that the energy of a severe impact is absorbed
through partial destruction of the shell and/or liner. Such
damage may not be visible to the naked eye. If the
helmet suffers such an impact, and any doubt exists as
to its further ability to protect, it should either be returned
to the manufacturer for competent inspection or discarded
and replaced by a new ARAI helmet.
Do not “park” helmet on mirror stalks or sissy bars to
avoid damage to liner.
Do not carry helmet on the motorcycle’s helmet lock
while riding to avoid exhaust pipe burns, tire abrasion,
and strap damage.
Keep helmet out of the reach of pets to avoid the interior
being chewed like a shoe, or scratched, like a sofa, as
all too often happens. Such damage can be irreparable.
Do not expose helmets to solvents including gasoline, or
their fumes to avoid damage to shields, small plastic
components and interior.
