Shell : physical damage such as cracks, dents, abrasions and
thermal damage such as blisters, soft spots, warping, and serious
discoloration
• Neck protector or headband comfort padding : physical damage
such as rips, tears, cuts, loss of seam integrity, broken/missing
stitches and thermal damage such as charring, burn holes, and
melting
• Suspension and retention systems : damaged, broken, or
missing components
• Face shield/eye protector : damaged, broken, or missing
components, blisters, discoloration, deep scratches to the face
shield/eye protector that limit visibility
