IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING
We at AFX recommend that any helmet suffering any kind of impact
to the shell be removed from use immediately, whether there is visible
physical damage or not. A helmet is designed to deform in an
accident in order to absorb the energy of the impact, and should
never be reused afterwards for its ability to protect the rider further
could be compromised. Even a helmet dropped accidently on the
ground or any other hard surface could result in hidden unseen
damage not visible to the rider.
If you suspect the integrity of the helmet has been compromised in
any way please i m m e d i a t e l y discontinue its use and seek a
suitable replacement. If you are not sure what to do please contact
AFX through our website. Afxhelmets.com
Also its important to realize that wearing a helmet does not make you
indestructible, so we encourage you to enjoy riding responsibly, and to
always ride within the limits of your abilities.
HELMET REPLACEMENT RECOMMENDATION
The expected lifespan of an AFX helmet is 4-5 years of seasonal use,
and decreases accordingly as the frequency of use increases. As you
would expect, helmets used for competition such, as road racing and
off-road tend to have a much shorter life span. The more exposure a
helmet endures to the elements, body oils, and perspiration, the faster
it will wear out. In most cases the helmet liner will be the first
component to wear out and, as such, functions as a good indicator
that a helmet should be replaced. If you are not sure if your helmet
should be rep la c ed pl e as e con ta ct AF X t hr ou g h our websi te.
