Idk man, buying a 10 year old used helmet? That’s kinda sketchy, I’d say buy a new one and if you really wanted to, get a vinyl wrap put on it ---

> [@Motocrossx23](#): > > Idk man, buying a 10 year old used helmet? That’s kinda sketchy, I’d say buy a new one and if you really wanted to, get a vinyl wrap put on it or get one painted. vinly wrap seems about impossible on a helmet. (edit, I can not see the image at work, so Idk if its feasable to get it painted. either way, vinyl wrap isnt really an option afaik) ---

Travis if you look at a helmet it’s a two part overlapped vinyl, that’s how they make them lol. I’m gonna have say just buy a new one, a lot has happened in helmet design since then, even if you find a new unused one, it’s inferior to the new gen helmets. “you only have one head, protect it” ---

hmm, I have never looked that close. maybe just the funky designs are vinyl? I know my buddy painted a few helmets and he never said anything about taking the vinyl off. ---

Prolly funky designs, it’s cheaper than painting them for the companies most likely. ---
