Another Cracked Helmet Bites the Dust


I don't recall this Giro Eclipse helmet taking a blow that would've caused this crack, certainly didn't endo it into the pavement.  Nevertheless, it had to be replaced.  Being one of a matched pair we wear while riding Maizey, we decided to replace Jeanne's helmet too even though it has no damage.  We chose Limar F107 in Yellow Jeans at steep discount.  They look good and fit great with a clever design that positions the Y-strap exactly at the bottom of ear lobe.

Don't forget to check the date of manufacture tag inside your helmet. Over time styrofoam loses its ability to absorb energy (which is what happens upon impact).

Regardless of outward appearance, helmets should be replaced every three to four years (read the mfg. paperwork that came with your new helmet).
