@Diesel415 6 лет назад

I prefer applying lemon grass tea infused cucumber slices to the face shield, almond and coconut paste to the shell and then do a nice Jamaican Blue coffee cleanse to the internal padding. That takes years off of your helmet and makes it feel like something newer and fresher is sitting on your face.

Someone below said it best: "As experienced riders we often lose sight of sharing that experience with riders who are relatively new". Even though this is dead simple, we all have a first time and want to get it right. Your video(s) really help so pay no mind to the naysayers! A few times you mentioned changing the pin-lock. My helmet is only a year old (HJC IS Max 2) and there doesn't seem to be any reason to worry about the pin-lock yet. How can I tell if it needs to be replaced?

@RevZilla 6 лет назад

Once the silicone seal around the Pinlock starts to degrade or the Pinlock insert has a harder time resisting fogging, then it's time to replace it. -DrewZilla

I travelled across washington, Idaho and Montana last spring and I was seriously coated in bug guts. Stopped at a rather nice hotel and ended up climbing in the shower in full gear to rinse most of it off. I’ll never forget the smell (I cleaned up the bathroom after, I didn’t want to be ‘that guy’), but it was nice not smelling like a bait shop starting the next morning. X-/

@mowcowbell 7 лет назад

I use a microfiber cloth and Meguiars Ultimate Quik Wax. It works great for cleaning off the exterior of the helmet, while leaving a nice wax coating which will help the surface bead up water and keep the helmet easy to clean after use.

@DrTranofEvil 5 лет назад

Ironic that this popped up in my email tonight. I commute in the PNW and between the rain and road-grease, my white helmet was more gray/black so I figured I’d wipe it down before I started my 35 mile ride home (before I saw this). I found out my shell was chipped and I had a crack I thought was just grime... it went for its last ride tonight. I already bought a new helmet (part of the reason Revzilla sent me the email), but I guess that was good timing (and a good reason to clean your lid more often than I have been).

@nickscaring2170 5 лет назад

Thanks

@broderp 3 года назад

Good info but a lot of work. I simply keep the outside clean weekly and every few months I polish it. As far as the visor, glasses cleaner works well (has not damaged it yet) or just soapy water with dish liquid. The interior padding, I just take it out and throw it in the washing machine along with my jacket and wash in cold water, delicate cycle then air dry. Both the jacket and helmet liner come out great every time. Right or wrong, its easy and quick.

@planetphatness Год назад

That's what I use, windex and a wash rag. Give it a good wipe down after a ride. Probably not the best long-term but if I had a $500 helmet I probably would be more careful with it. The ones I use are between $150 and $200.

Is that a good idea? Should I buy a certain product? Please, need your help

Do you store it with the visor up or down I heard somewhere leaving the visor open will make the foam dry quicker any truth about that ?

@jimmorrison306 2 года назад

No expert here, but if stored indoors in a dry environment it shouldn’t matter up or down. Leaving the liner wet to mold or subjecting the helmet to sunlight excessively would be hard on the materials. I like to set my helmet in front of a fan that’s blowing to help dry it on those sweaty days. I would never apply heat to it.
