Here's my dumb question: Assuming no crashes, life span of a bike helmet? It is suggested that motorcycle helmets get tossed after five years. I'm guessing something similar.
Yep, I've seen recommended 3-5 year lifespan for bicycle helmets. You might be able to get that info directly from the manufacturer, either in the info packet that came with the helmet (if there was one) or by using the contact form on their website to ask a representative directly.
