Under the lining there should be a label with the 'Release date' printed somewhere. Something like '1st quarter 2012'.
Arai's are guaranteed for five years. Having spoken to an Arai rep, they use a different type of foam that is more effective at reforming it's shape. That way it takes longer before the helmet starts to feel loose.
Many times we've come across helmets that are out of date, even though they've only just been bought. The worst one was a helmet that was displaying a 'British Standard Kite Mark', even though these had been phased out 7 years previously... >
Incidentally, if anyone is riding with a helmet displaying the old kite mark, chuck it in the bin. Trust me, it's knackered... :

I would imagine that the box / labels for the helmet have a manufacture date.
I have checked mine and I cannot see a date anywhere apart from on my visor.

I've found dates in mine, under the liner inside the lid on both my hjc and shoei, took a bit of poking about though

Really you should be buying a helmet dated in the last six months. If it's older it should be discounted accordingly. :-/

No - the date in helmets is the manufacture date (not an expiry date)
