How old is too old? Arai Helmet

theres a different between looking good and living after a crash. is you life really not worth $500?

 

I had a 9 year old shoei, put it on after a 4 year bike break,the small plastic fittings by the visor just fell apart riding along.
A closer look after revealed that the plasic would crumble in my fingers.
The helmet was left in house in the dark and still deteriorated.
So i had to buy another!
