This is 5th new helmet since '99 so getting 2-3 yrs before something fails on em I can't live with, ugh. Last one was HJS flip up, like the poor suffering one before it, but after saving noggin a number of times, deer, goat and dog, it rolled off seat on Texas trip and a flip up hinge came un-hinged, again, so gave up on it this time as to skewed/worn mechanism to set right.
I've read up on how helmets should fit tight and snug but for the life of me my experience has been - better be loose enough to spin half way around more than your neck can or guess what snaps first. A number of times, helmet twisted so its edge slammed into shoulder/back/chest bruising in a ring, but my head didn't have to take the same range of motion. Deflection is good protection.
Heres my next one in silver.
