Hi guys,

Nothing urgent but what do you do with your helmet when you get back at it's wet/sweaty. I usually just leave it upside down to dry off, but I wonder if I should take the pads out to dry.

Also, anyone know where I can get a helmet bag for a Bell Sweep R?

Finally, do you wash your helmet? My other lid still has mud ingrained from the cross season I doubt I could remove without a hose pipe or similar.

Cheers,
Steve

    Leave the pads in and just leave it somewhere warm to dry.

    If it gets really rank then what I do is soak it with a hose on the washing line and leave it to drain off and dry there (easier in summer)

    Shove it in the shower once a week - I leave it to dry in the airing cupboard at home, or in air flow of my desk fan when drying my kit....
