Helmet Care

About

Helmet care keeps your lid clear, fresh and lasting longer. Oxford, Motul, Putoline and Whites supply visor cleaners, anti-fog solutions and liner sanitisers that lift grime, road film and bug splatter without scratching the optical-grade polycarbonate visor or harming the EPS liner inside your shell. How to choose the right helmet care product Helmet care covers three jobs: cleaning the visor, freshening the liner and protecting the shell. Only use alcohol-free, ammonia-free formulas on a polycarbonate visor, since a scratched visor cuts light transmission below the 80% minimum most road visors target and ruins night vision. Road visors run about 2 to 3 mm thick, so spray on, soak for 30 to 60 seconds, then wipe with a soft microfibre cloth. Product type Main job Durable fact Visor cleaner Removes bug splatter and road film Alcohol-free, safe on 2 to 3 mm polycarbonate Liner sanitiser Kills odour-causing bacteria Targets up to 99% of common bacteria Care kit Full clean of visor and shell Carry case for trackside top-ups Keep the gear you wear protected too Clean your visor after every ride and sanitise the liner every 2 to 4 weeks of regular use. Sweat and skin oils break down liner foam, and a helmet should be replaced around 5 years from its production date or after any impact. The same discipline applies to your riding kit: jackets and jeans carry an EN 17092 abrasion rating from AAA down to AA and A, while shoulder, elbow, hip and knee armour is graded CE Level 1 or the higher-energy CE Level 2. A 1.2 mm to 1.4 mm leather jacket lasts longer when wiped down, and Kevlar-lined jeans hold their abrasion time when washed at 30 degrees. Use a 100% cotton or microfibre cloth, never paper towel, which holds grit that micro-scratches surfaces, and 250 mL bottles suit deeper home cleans while a 50 mL bottle lives in your tank bag.
