Helmet storage? - Page 2

I know you can't keep a bowling ball in your trunk, the layers lose their cohesion and you end up with a cracked or dead ball that never rolls right again. Learned that the hard way. That's what gives me pause about the helmet in the trunk.

You can always find space around your house...for instance, when I got a second helmet I found it fits quite nicely in the paper recycling bin.

I don't think I would leave it in there for days on end, but a couple times here or there would probably be OK. It's really up to you.

Are you guys serious?

Of coarse its fine to leave a helmet in the trunk. Some of your people are seriously over analyzing it. How fuckin hot does it get in your garage or shed, especially when you park a 2 ton heat machine of a car or truck in there and close the door???

If you are that concerned, instead of asking a bunch of internet people. Why don't you call the manufacture of the helmet?? get the real deal info instead of all our opinions.

eh go buy a cheap lid and stick it in the oven at 250 degrees for 6 hours and look for discoloration or deformation of the outer shell.
cut the shell in half in order to check inner core temps...............

ok whatever throw it in the trunk and it should be fine.

It's not that I don't have space it the house, I just thought I'd like to have it on-hand, if given an un-excepted chance to ride. (Not like it happens much

).

Most garages stay cool. Cars can get extremely hot while sitting in the sun. In the trunk would be much better then sitting in the window but it would still be hot. Myself, I wouldn't do it all the time because like someone said it could get damaged rolling around.

I would get a case, soft cover or just wrap it in a towel or blanket to keep it from getting banged up.

Contacting the manufacture isn't a bad idea just to see what they say.

And there is nothing wrong with getting some opinions online. You can get some bs answers but you can also get some good info. My big screen that I'm watching now was bought about 4 years ago. I asked for advise online before going to the stores and I have been very happy with it.
