The foam helmet liner starts to degrade immediately after manufacture. I wear Shoei helmets and replace them approximately every five years (or sooner if dropped). Don't forget to check the date sticker inside the helmet when purchasing a new helmet. When shopping for a new helmet a couple of months ago...the parts & accessories manager offered me a 50% discount on a "new" Shoei helmet. I checked the date sticker and found that the helmet was four years old...I passed on the offer and bought a helmet with a 2009 date of manufacture.
