Just bought a new helmet since my old one is a snell 95.

I then needed to move all my communication stuff, the intercom for when I instruct, and the other for race communication out of the old helmet into the new helmet..

FYI: my old helmet has been on the shelf in my trailer since last october, untouched..

When I got my old helmet out of the bag.. I looked inside and it was disgusting

..It smelled...I cant believe that thing was ever on my head

Also dont use Shoo goo to fasten anything in your helmet... its a pita to remove

P.S.S: My new helmet is a G-force "Pro Force Air" it is almost a pound lighter than my Simpson Bandit, and cost less. I am going to hook up the forced air and see how that works...

I learned that lesson years ago with motorcycle helmets..

The full face helmets form a seal if you set them on a shelf..no air can get in there...

I now hang my helmet so it can air out....

Yup,,,its gross...

Well my helmet was zipped in a bag, placed on a shelf, locked in a trailer and untouched for 5+ months
