[QUOTE="Geezer, post: 804116, member: 436"] I don't really understand why people think there is a problem with a helmet just because it sat on the shelf for a few years. Assuming that it was stored in a clean environment with no fumes or UV rays to break down the plastic, does a helmet actually age in the box? I had an old Simpson that I really liked and I wore it for 20 years. The only reason I stopped using it was that the shields I had were too scratched up to see and they stopped making new shields a long before that. Fortunately, I never crash tested that old helmet so I can't say if it was as good after 20 years as it was when new. [/QUOTE]
