What to do with an old helmet?

Huh, TIL. I didn't know you should replace the helmet after 5 years. Any particular reasoning behind this?!

Foam gets old and hard and is less able to absorb energy. Still much better than nothing but less good than new. I normally replace my main helmet every five years and it often then assumes pillion duty for another five years, then the bin. It is only being used a few times a year so I am ok with that approach. Others may choose a more conservative approach.

i 'replace' my helmet every time a new graphic catches my eye. i see these youtube stars with helmet display cases/racks, i think i'm going to need one soon...
 
He lets are a bit like tires.
Consumables.

After 5 seasons your helmet probably has enough dings and scuffs on it to warrant a replacement.
Go ahead... You deserve it.
New helmets give you the same rush as that 'new car smell.
 
Hah. I wish, I been researching a new helmet for almost a year now and haven’t pulled the trigger. Why are all the nice ones so damn expensive!

any of you guys used a VOSS? They look great, ece rated, but I don’t see any of the “big guys” like Fortnine of revzilla reviewing them?!

I ordered a helmet from Chromeburner and they put "Motorcycle safety equipment" on the box and I paid no duty. The are good to deal with. But how do you know what size to get? I would have been pooched if it didn't fit.
