Buying a helmet
Lätt
Why should you not buy a second-hand helmet?
Because second-hand helmets may be too small
Because previous impacts and wear may have damaged the helmet without it being visible
Second-hand helmets are always too heavy for motorcycles
Explanation
✅ NTF advises that helmets should be bought new because you cannot be sure that a second-hand helmet has not been exposed to impacts that impair protection.
