I figure every 4-5 years I simply want to buy something new, so that's what I do.
4-5yrs is usually the industry standard...that when adhesives/seals and things of sorts start to breakdown from nature oils from skin & hair. Not all helmets or people are the same but i would change every 5 atleast, but there is always great deal for a new lids every season so no need to worry
