Err...... Your Plastic Hat

After lots of dirt and sweat I decided to wash my helmet
rf 1000 ( I Am forced into retirement and as such embracing my poor)

I am fortunate and have a combination of
Wash tub, slop sink and urinal
so I can fill it up and submerge the whole thing repeatedly

I used a febreeze sweat detergent and a few rinses

So far it looks fine. Does everyone do this ? I am late to the party?

Previously for dirt always had a dirt bike and dirt helmet that always had a removable liner that could be laundered.

Funny, they saw no need to make use of the urinal.

Lots of brands come with removable liners now. They probably still never get washed.

Sorry richw guess I'm a whoose. Not too excited about a lid that's been washed in the urinal. :biggrinjester:

I usually replace the liner rather than wash it, and sometimes replace the whole helmet.

love how the Shei A hole tells you to avoid

Drying your helmet in direct sunlight


I guess I should only use Shoei helmets
at night, during cloudy weather, or underground

I wash mine with hair shampoo. Don't want to use a soap that could irritate your skin.

On a couple trips my helmet started to smell pretty funky.
I ended up holding it over the smoke from the camp fire after a handful of green pine needles were thrown in. Works very well.
