Helmet Clean and snug

[Stromper]

A mere observation

After a camp and ride in Maine we had gone riding on very dry dirt roads in a fog of micro dust which penetrated everything

So everything needed cleaning including the helmet at Shoei rf1200

Well after the shampoo the padding, and washing the shell, a nice dry and a spritz of fabreeze

When I put it on it now feels a little tight like when new, this the third time I have noticed this.

I have heard others say they thought it was time for a new hat as this one was feeling loose

I am sure the human spooge that collects in the foam must glue some of the padding together so it effectively shrinks

Maybe I should have given that a shot before divorcing my ex.

so she could expand?!

So she could fit snug!

[cdovego]

It's a little tight from the moisture you added expanding the liner in your helmet, if I understand what you're saying correctly.

Or from the lining being removed and allowed to expand during the cleaning / drying process. It will mold back pretty quickly, but even non-memory foam has "memory" qualities to it, particularly when deformed (while the helmet is on) for hours and days on end...
