How to maintain your Samshield helmet? | Care guide & tips
Maintaining your Samshield helmet is essential to extend the lifespan of your helmet and ensure safety. Here are some tips to take care of your Samshield helmet:
1. Cleaning the Exterior
Use a soft cloth: Clean the exterior with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust without damaging the helmet. Avoid harsh cleaners: Do not use aggressive cleaning products, chemicals, or abrasive materials, as these can damage the helmet's coating or surface.
Do not dry the helmet in direct sunlight as this may deform the materials.
2. Cleaning the Interior
Carefully remove the liner and hand wash it with lukewarm water and mild detergent. Let the helmet air out well after use to prevent moisture or odors.
3. Maintaining the Liner
Regularly inspect the liner. Replace it if it becomes damaged or loses its firmness, as this affects fit and safety.
4. Inspecting the Strap
Check the chin strap for wear and proper fit. If damaged, send the helmet back to Ridershouse for repair by Samshield. Repairs take approximately 2–4 weeks.
5. Storage
Store the helmet in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Use the helmet bag when not in use to keep it clean and protected.
6. Protection from Impact
Be gentle with your helmet: avoid dropping or bumping it. Even invisible internal damage can reduce its protective effectiveness.
By properly maintaining your Samshield helmet, you extend its lifespan and ensure your safety while riding.
