my uncle constantly goes to AGV factory to get helmets for his store... a lot of cool stuff there... they gave him helmet shells too... they are very thin glass fiber but unbreakable... anytime when someone comes to the store and doubts how strong the helmets are then he gets to test it on the thin shell... they can beat the shit out of it with any object, metal pipes or whatever... no one can break them.

So why do they recommend you replace a lid when you drop it? Robbing bastards!


I thought this thread was going to be about purple helmets.

They recommend you replace the helmet when drop it or bounce your melon off the concrete while in it because helmets are designed to only take one impact from the way I understand it. So if you drop the helmet it may not protect your melon if you get in a crash due to the shock absorbing materials or case being damaged from when it was dropped.

I realise that, so why don't they make them out of this stuff you can beat the shit out of then? Surely they can't be that susceptible to catastrophic failure after a heavy drop, even if you consider the manufacturers covering their arse legally by saying so. If you've been down the road after dropping the bike, fair enough, I'd say the lid did its job, paid for itself, no problem buying a new one. But to advise renewal after knocking it off a table is taking the piss IMHO.
