AHR Retro DOT 3/4 Open Face Motorcycle Helmet Visor Matte Black

Step-by-Step Guide to Clean and Maintain AHR Helmets

Normally a helmet can last a very long time (5 years per industry standard) if it hasn't been dropped, in an accident, painted, or drilled, and this is the same with all AHR helmets. However, it does not mean your helmet does not require proper care. Improper use will shorten the lifespan of the helmet. Below are some tips for keeping your helmet in good condition so that it will last a long time:
1. Store the helmet in a dry place with good airflow and avoid direct sunlight when not in use.
2. Replace the visor when it has scratches or cracks. Refer to the below link if you need to replace the visor of AHR helmet: Can I replace the clear visor/shield of AHR helmets?
3. Clean helmet liner/cheek pad every three to four months or wear a helmet liner mask.
The liner and padding will start to smell and deteriorate with time due to sweat and dust.
Most of our AHR helmets have a removable and washable liner & cheek pad, and we recommend you clean the liner and cheek pad regularly. The cleaning process is very easy, just take the liner and pads out of the helmet, soak them into mild soapy water for about 20-30 mins, then rinse them with water and let them dry air dry in the sun. Please make sure they are dry completely before you re-install them.
Please note, the liner and pads of our AHR helmets are not suitable for machine-washing, only handwashing.
If you bought an AHR half face helmet or open face helmet, the liner is not removable. We recommend using a helmet liner cap to protect your helmet from sweat.
4. Replace the helmet liner and cheek pad if they tear. We have replacement liners & pads for some of our AHR helmets. You can refer to the below link: AHR Helmet: Can l change the inner padding to adjust the size?
5. Clean the shell of the helmet with a soft sponge or piece of cotton cloth to gently remove dead bugs, dust, and grime. We recommend you do this every day or every time after riding.
Regular maintenance is necessary and easy. It can keep the helmet last longer and will make you aware of any safety issues with your helmet before they become dangerous.

Is It Okay to Put Stickers/Decals on AHR Helmet?

While riding, you may have seen other motorcyclists with stickers on their bike or helmet. Is it safe to put stickers on your helmet?
Yes, you can put stickers on AHR helmets. They are a great way to personalize your helmet and will not affect the safety or strength of the helmet.
There are a few things to consider before putting stickers on you helmet:
1. Be careful where you place the stickers. All AHR helmets are DOT approved and have a DOT sticker on the back of the helmet. Be sure you don't cover this DOT sticker. Please also note you should avoid putting stickers over vents and visors.
2. Use "helmet safe" and good quality stickers. A cheap or thin sticker will quickly fade or tear off.
3. If you want remove your stickers, be aware that they may leave a sticky residue on the helmet, which can be hard to remove. We do not recommend using harsh chemicals or sharp objects to remove this residue, because these may cause damage to the helmet. Warm water and a mild soap will work. Think before you stick!

AHR Helmet: Can l change the inner padding to adjust the size?

It depends on which kind of AHR helmet you have ordered. And the size of helmet and pad you receive should be the same.
1. If you have ordered AHR RUN-M flip up modular helmet, then the answer is yes, we currently have 3 sizes of replacement liner and pad for this type of helmet. You can order the same size liner & pad as a replacement in case the original liner & pad wear out, or you can order a larger liner and pad to make the helmet fit more snugly.
2. If you have ordered AHR H-VEN20 Off-road Race Helmet, the Medium, Large and X-Large size liner & pad are available. However, please note that each liner and pad only fit their same helmet size. Medium only fit medium helmets, large only fits the large helmets, and xl only fits the xl helmets.

4. If you have ordered AHR H-VEN30 Full Face Motorcycle Helmet, 4 sizes of liner & pad are available. However, please note the small liner and pad only fits in the small or medium helmet, as do the medium liner and pad. The large size liner & pad only fits in the large or X-Large helmet, as do the xl liner & pad. Because the small and medium helmets are using the same shell size, while the Large and X-Large helmets are using another shell size.
5. If you ordered other types of AHR helmet, the liners & pads of those helmets are special accessories corresponding to the helmet model and cannot be replaced with other liners & pads. Like AHR RUN-C and AHR RUN-G, their inner pad is not removable.

Can I use AHR open face helmet for my ebike?

Yes, our open face helmet is suitable for both motorcycles and e-bikes. While riding your e-bike, you can reach speeds up to 30 mph, and there is a higher risk of more serious head injury. Because of this, we recommend using a high-quality safety helmet. A motorcycle helmet can give you better protection than a regular bike helmet. Our AHR open face helmets are DOT approved and they are designed to withstand greater impact in a crash. They are a great choice for your e-bike helmet!

Is the sun visor on AHR RUN-O helmet removable? Can you snap on a full face shield with this helmet?

Yes the visor is removable and it is very easy to remove the sun visor on AHR Run-O helmets. It has snap-on buttons to attach the visor to the helmet. Normally when you receive the helmet, the visor is wrapped in a protective bag, so it does not get scratched during shipping. First, unsnap the visor, then remove the protective bag, then finally reinstall it on the helmet.
You may not be able to snap on a full face shield of other brands to this helmet, if your full face shield does not have the same snap-on buttons as our sun visor. But if you 100% sure your face shield has the same snap-on buttons, then you can try to install your face shield on it.
