A bicycle helmet is built to protect you, but it needs proper care. With simple maintenance, you can keep your helmet clean and comfortable for daily rides.

 

✅ Clean removable padding

Take out the inner EPS padding regularly. Hand wash it with mild soap and cool water, then air dry completely. Do not use strong bleach or hot water. High heat will damage the foam structure.

 

✅ How to clean the helmet shell

Wipe the outer PC shell with a damp soft cloth. Do not scrub hard or use harsh chemicals. Avoid leaving your helmet under direct sunlight for long hours. UV rays slowly weaken the shell material.

 

✅ Storage advice

Store your helmet in a cool dry place. Do not throw it on the ground or squeeze it into tight bags. Impacts can damage the EPS foam even if you cannot see cracks.

 

⚠️ Important rule: Replace your helmet after any heavy crash. The EPS foam absorbs shock once. Even if the helmet looks intact, its protective function may be gone.
