    4 years ?? , its time to change the helmet.

    usually helmet shelf life is not more than 3 years, one should change to new helmet

            Not really a fan of Axors, are there any other alternatives in that Segment? How about THH or SMK?

              SMK starts at 4350/- If you can stretch the budget, then I'll say just blindly opt for the SMK as long as u r not a fan of double DRing retention system. THH also has its GP series helmet at that price point, but I'll rather suggest SMK because it is a VFM product. Else below 4k, Studds Shifter is a very good proposition.
              I've used both SMK Twister and Studds Shifter and thus, can say both are very good at their respective price points

                    EDIT: IMHO, Studds Shifter is much better than Vega and Steelbird helmets. Comes with dual visor as well.

                        If you search in this thread, many times it’s mentioned to avoid motocross helmets.

                            In case of fall full face helmet would protect your head better than motocross helmets, don’t go just for looks, look for better safety standards.

                              But motocross are also full face. Don't they?

                                Quoting one of the post here:

                                If you see the picture in motocross the impacts are on mostly gravel or loose soil and low speed impacts. But in tarmac it's not the same. And more over in the pic it's good quality helmet and still this injury. Don't think any one would want such road rash on heor face like this and with the cheap knockoff stuff under brand name vega will give not even this protection.

                                Does vega has any certification apart from ISI? I guess no (other members can correct me if i am wrong)
