Many manufacturers will inspect the helmet to tell you if it has damage.

Um...yeah....I know that.
The helmet wore through to the foam actually. Infact I had ordered another one prior to the wreck. Maybe I am psychic or maybe ordering new gear jynxed me.

What exactly do you do on incredibly hot days w/ all that leather on? I understand that it prevents you from getting road rash n stuff but is it considered unsafe or life threatning to wear a t-shirt and jeans? j/w
