Time for a new hat and I've found a Shark that doesn't hurt my head
It's a 4 star so scores well and I've read some great reviews about it.
Just wondered what they are like after a couple of years?
Does anyone here use one and have a view on them??
Thanks 8-)

Ive had shark helmets for the past couple of years, my latest the rsr2 is superb, a little on the expensive side, but its light, and they always fit me very well

Thanks Wes that's good to know.
I'm looking at the Shark Speed-R it's the only Shark I've found that fits nicely.
My worry was that the lining would lose it's padding after a while like my LS2 has

I think 3 years is plenty long enough. I was thinking of buying a cheap helmet with a good reputation and replacing it every year but think I'd prefer something with a bit of quality that will last a while.
I like my LS2 but it was ok for a year then started becoming too loose.

I think it looks great too

its more to do with what the naked eye cannot see, prolonged exposure to uv is supposed to weaken the molecular structure of both fibreglass and polycarbons,
the linings falling out is obviously a good sign its past it as obviously for a helmet to offer the best available protection it needs to be a good snug fit.

Yea and I've read that over time the polywotsit foam gets harder and less able to absorb the blow. Makes sense to me
My linings haven't fallen out but have lost their spring so the fit isn't as tight as it was. It's a shame as I really like my hat

Wasnt trying to teach you to suck eggs fella but on an open forum you never know who reads and if you can save a life or offer good advice, then its priceless.

No worries I didn't think you were.
Sharing info, that's what forums are for
