the main reason you don't want a used one is because a helmet is made to soften on hard impact. It will get millions of microfractures on the original impact. After that, any helmet is pretty much crap and it's not going to protect you much after it's already soft.
Dam wish i'd seen this before i bought one got mine today n was disapointed in the quality and weight of it. Will only be using it on my 125cc bike and when using my bigger bike higher speeds will use a proper shop bought one! :( but for a little under £50 ($85) its not that bad i suppose.
@TheBumish The helmet I use the most these days is an HJC model that cost me $30 very lightly used. Unfortunately, my helmets tend to get scraped up pretty regularly so I think that used is the best option for me right now. No sense spending $350 on a beautiful new helmet when you're just gonna mar it up anyway. :P
Never a good idea to gamble with your head and in turn brains. I've bought some decent products for my motorcycle from China for way cheaper then I would have otherwise purchased them. But I never trust a helmet that way. Never really trust a used one either. But generally if well inspected i'd imagine you can pick apart any really big problems with a used helmet.
my cats name is tubby too....that helmet looks pretty cool just to bad it didnt fit right and feel comfy....HJC is the only helmets i have gotten for riding ATVs over the years.
Best part of the video was the cat... And it was only 5 secs...
