5. This helmet should not be used by children while climbing or doing other activities when there is a risk
of strangulation/hanging if the child gets trapped with the helmet. A helmet is NOT a toy. DO NOT allow
your small children to play with your helmet. They can accidentally damage it or hurt themselves. It is also
possible that they could choke on the buckles on the straps.
6. DO NOT adjust the retention system while riding.
7. DO NOT expose your helmet to solvents or other chemical substances, or apply paint, dyes, decals,
stickers or tape to your helmet as this could irreparably damage the helmet, reduce its protective
capability and increase the possibility of injury or death in an accident.
8. DO NOT leave your helmet in the car exposed to sunlight, near any heat source, or expose your helmet
to temperature above 130°F as this could irreparably damage the helmet, reduce its protective capability
and increase the possibility of injury or death in an accident.
9. A helmet, like all products, may wear out over time depending upon its use and the amount of care
that it is given. Please check your helmet every time before use for damage and do not use a damaged
helmet. Troy Lee Designs recommend retiring a helmet after FIVE (5) years from purchase even if there
is no visible damage or defect. Of course with hard or frequent use this time may be reduced. Even
with minimal use, a helmet may be affected by things like the acids and oils in sweat, hair care products,
pollution, exposure to UV rays, corrosive dirt or mud, being tossed around, etc. If your helmet becomes
less than snug in fit, or damaged, it should be replaced.
10. Helmets are designed to absorb ONE impact. After your helmet has been involved in one impact
you must destroy it and replace it. Your helmet is designed to distribute the localized force of an impact
over a larger area on the helmet. Even if your helmet looks undamaged its useful life is finished after one
impact and will no longer provide protection in an accident. With a sufficient impact, the helmet's impact
absorbing liner (EPS or "expanded polystyrene") becomes compacted. Once this has happened, the
