I was taking a look at my helmet last night and noticed that it has four, yes four cracks that go all the way through the styrofoam. One in the dead center of the forehead at the "bottom" of the helmet, one behind the left ear, and the others are sort of on the side. I was floored. I have never crashed this helmet and cannot recall it taking any significant impacts from mishandling it. It is one year old. Is this common? How long should a helmet last? (I usually keep them for at least 2 years) I'm pretty pissed off since this is not exactly a cheap, strike that, I mean inexpensive helmet.
I recall a post from a while back where someone noted something similar but I believe the crack they were referring to is similar to the one behind the ear.
What do you guys think? The warrantee is only for a year, correct?
