i had a little accident today and fell off my bike, luckily had my helmet on but now its has a dent in and some scratches. just wondering if this is still safe to use or if Uvex has a crash replacement policy.

    Nope, the helmet isn't safe to use anymore

    Not sure about crash replacement

    you could ask Uvex http://www.uvex-sports.de/en/contact-uv ... ex-sports/

    Or just buy a new one. It's done it's job, you've had your money's worth.

    all helmets have to pass certain safety standards. Just buy a cheaper one that you can afford. The helmet is bin fodder now by the way.

    Most MFR's have a crash replacement scheme. I'm not at work atm so can't check. If I remember I'll look on Monday for you. It does work out to be a considerable chunk of dosh off if they do.

    And like others have said, bin the lid, it's knackered.
