Nick,
Just as the webbing on belts deteriorates with age and exposure to the sun so does the liner of a helmet. The shell may still look brand new but what is inside is part of the protection package and the liner goes bad. We have a bunch of snell 95 helmets as RTR loaners for AX and when you look at the liner it is shrinking and coming apart. Infact we need to solicit donations of newer loaners because the 95's are so bad I do not think we even want to use them for AX.
