[QUOTE="wfooshee, post: 611623, member: 6354"] I found my old Shoei RF-100 the other day, Snell M85 rating, and tried it on. The foam in the top gave me black dandruff, so I probably wouldn't wear it any more. That and the fact that I replaced it because the visor fitting broke, and I can't fasten a visor on it. Primitive thing needed a tool (edge of coin) to unscrew the fittings, anyway. It isn't just the shell, it's the soft stuff inside. the foam breaks up, the cloth rots, etc. The number I kept hearing was five years, but that sounds short to me for a helmet that doesn't get a lot of use. That's how often Snell sets standards to rate by, though. Daily rider probably gets worn out before it's five years old, though. [/QUOTE]
