Selecting a Helmet

1. Replace your helmet every 5 years
2. Full face helmets offer superior face and chin protection
3. Replace your helmet every impact (so don't drop it)
4. Make sure it's standards approved
5. Needs to be a snug fit without pressure (for a good fit, your skin should move with it)
6. Requires good all round vision
7. Helmets that reduce noise levels are preferred  
8. Make sure it's comfortable
9. Good ventilation is advisable
10. Note that black helmets can get hot & uncomfortable
11. Fog resistent visors are advisable (especially on rainy days or to take touring)

Caring for your Helmet

1. Keep visor and lining clean
2. Wash removable linings
3. Don't leave gloves in your helmet as they restrict access to fresh air
4. Don't leave your helmet on the bike's mirror as it deforms the foam which is trying to mould to the shape of your head 
5. Don't leave your helmet on the bike as it may fall off (& will need to be replaced - expensive mistake)

Helmet Disposal

Cut the clasp off the helmet so it can't be reused
