Today on Greenhawk’s Pro Tips, Let’s do a quick helmet fit check! Your helmet is a crucial piece of safety equipment, and making sure it’s in top condition is just as important as wearing it.

Did you know you should replace your helmet at least every five years? That’s right—even if it hasn’t taken a fall, helmets break down over time. Remember, the five-year countdown starts from when you bought it, not when it was made.

If you ride often or your helmet gets a lot of wear and tear, you might need to replace it even sooner. Frequent use and exposure to sweat, sun, and weather can speed up the aging process—and yes, that dreaded old helmet smell is a clue!

To keep your helmet working its best, follow our care and cleaning tips. Stay safe and ride on!
