Re: Helmets

Why I am very sure-shot about new helmet is that because Met with an accident.. at dabri, new delhi flyover on 03.01.2019.. lucky there is some Bruces..but nothing serious..

Damn swift hitnrun.

One thing i learnt today.. DELHI IS NOT AT ALL SAFE SPECIALLY FOR TWO WHEELER .

I was on scooter .. You can see the condition after accident. ..

I was wearing Studd Ninja Helmet.. the impact was so strong that i was in state of shock for atleast 30 minutes and could not stand.

Haan its almost 6 years old ..

Tape on the backside is to hide scratches (from that accident)

And on front side wisor (half cover) to avoid sunlight directly on eyes. JUGAAD

6 years means it is already way past its intended life max life is 3 to 4 years after that the inside padding starts to get useless and loses its safety. Better change it now.

There is shelf life of Everything most manufactures recommend 7 years from the date of manufacturing, but 3 to 5 years is maximum life of the styrofoam or whatever padding is used inside the lid.
Even if u don't use it the internals gets aged, i change at 4 to 5 years.

They are all same helmets, different graphics.

I would recommend SMK stellar over twister, it has lesser wind noise.

Uff i tried west delhi local market just now .. it's hell hot outside.. sadly max size available 600mm which not suited me...

Now only option left with karobagh or online ...

But there is no 610mm helmet available online within 2500/-.

If this is the same helmet in which you had the accident then replace it. After an accident the helmet should not be used. Helmet works by absorbing the impact and by its internal protection material is damaged as a consequence. In another impact the helmet will not keep your head safe. It is not the steel outside of the helment which protects rather the substance inside of the helmet outside of the steel.
