Follow these simple rules:
• Never decorate your helmet with paint, decals, stickers, or tape.
• Use only mild soap and water to clean the outside of your helmet.
• Chemicals used in many items can be harmful to the outer shell of your helmet.
• Frequently, this damage is not visible, and can result in premature fracturing of the shell when impacted.
• Use only mild soap and water to clean the interior of your helmet.
• Never allow your helmet to come in contact with gasoline or other petroleum products, as this will cause
serious damage to the energy absorbing inner liner and/or the outer shell of the helmet.
Painting
Our helmets should not be painted by anyone other than the manufacturer. Many helmet components
can be seriously damaged by chemicals and/or solvents contained in most paint or by careless
handling during the repainting process.
Storage
Our helmets require little special care. However, it is a good idea to protect your helmet from damage if
it is to be stored for a long period of time. Household pets will chew on an unattended helmet if given
the chance. Helmets should be stored in a cool, dry place. Exposure to temperatures in excess of 150
degrees F can cause damage, resulting in a loss of protection. The interior of cars on sunny days can
exceed 150 degrees.
