I recently listed 2 helmets in good condition on the classifieds and was asked a question as to their age by one reader due to them possibly having expired. I was a little oblivious about the topic so I went looking for some studies that actually tested this and not just normal manufacturer talk trying to sell more gear. I am including the links below but curious as to others experience? Also, just a caveat, this is not discussing helmets that have taken big hits.
