I was reading in one of the bicycling magazines that a regularly used helmet should last 5-6 seasons...they did state that sunlight UV created a lifespan issue for the product as well as the cracks it took...as I recall, the instructions that came with my cycling & skiing helmets stated that I should replace it if involved in crashes...it didn’t say anything branch snags though…
