- There is a lot of fancy cleaning products on the market today to help you clean out your helmet. Well guess what, non of them work any good. The A, B, C of marketing is to create a problem and sell the solution. With a little bit of elbow grease you can clean you helmet back to mint condition. Enjoy

And that’s exactly why I ride all year round, it’s easier than cleaning your helmet at the end of the season😁. Great video mate, wasn’t really sure how to properly clean my pinlock, so thank you for the info 👍🏼
Hahaha, well.... you guys down there don't have so much snow or trucks spraying the streets with salt and crap 🤣 Great to hear you got some valuable info from the video. The PinLock can be a pain to clean. Guess how I know 🤣
Yet again another LEGENDARY VIDEO!!! 😉😉😉 I am ONE LUCKY GUY! As my GIRLFRIEND CLEANS MY HELMET EVERY SUNDAY MORNING!!! And if I cook her a Pizza 🍕 during the week she GIVES IT A RUB AND POLISH!!!😉😉😉😉 Stay STRONG BROTHER!!! It's NOT easy out there! 🙁 In England we have a saying! LIFES A BED OF ROSES 🌹 BUT WATCH OUT FOR THE PRICKS!!!!😂 And now more than ever AVOID THE PRICKS!!! Take care! LOVE YA BROTHER! Karin n Nic ❤️XXX
Haha, well good on you mate 🤣 Made me laugh 🤣👏🏻 I always try to avoid the pricks... I have only one regret in life... not telling more people to f%#" off 🙈😁 Cheers
Aha! That silicone was a nice touch.
I wash the padding of my helmet with Milo too, but it takes so long to dry sometimes, that I have to wash it one more time.
I also use a can of pressurised air, in the air vents. Usually I find a dead insect or two that way.
Thank you, and yes I have experienced that my self. takes a little bit of time to dry sometimes. Then I just trow it in the dryer for a couple of minutes and solve it that way. If it's dry weather and wind you can hang it outside. Pressure air is great on the vents. I was considering to add it in the video but forgot about it in the finishing process. 🔥
Very thorough thanks for sharing!
I have always done the pads and washing machine method but never the helmet under running water. Didn't think of it until this video lol. Ive just use wet microfiber to wipe instead. 🍻
You are welcome 🤩It makes the job so much easier and the helmet gets really clean inside as well. A lot of crap inside the helmet as well. that comes in with the air vents. Cheers
This is something i should get better on, even a mid season clean up would be needed. You are so right about "taking care of your gear and it takes care of you" Great video Tjommi! Keep upp the great work.
If i do really intense stuff with a lot of hot weather or a lot of dust i wash it mid season as well, and i always clean my helmet after each trip. Like really go at it with wetwipes and micro fibre cloth. But i don’t always was the lining and do it this much. Thank you for the ongoing support and great comments Tjommi… you are and always has been a huge inspiration 👏🏻 Now, let’s see how the hunt went. Skål
@@tshansen I need to shape up i hear 😁. Well You are a part of the hunting video, good luck finding that part hidden in 1h video 👀😂😜
@@Braapncamp Haha, i just finish with the beautiful drone intro, and the alarm went of, so i have to wait until tomorrow morning. There is no break here today… Haha, i will find it Tjommi 😂
@@tshansen Hehe, Duty first tjommi! rescue some lives and chew this beast of a video with a teaspoon 😂
Thanks Thomas. Seems like a topic for a video that I would never have thought of using BUT the fact that you did is REALLY HELPFUL. I am still in denial about the end of the season. This morning it was 3° here. So sooner more that later I will have no choice. I still have not done my last moto-camping trip. Supposed to be next week but ....we will see! Cheers mate! Keep up the good work and amazing videos. P.S.: If this is any help for topics during your off (motorcycle) time, personally I really enjoy seeing how you as a Norwegian live (your home, your, city, maybe what other Norwegians motorcyclists do during the off time). Just some ideas. These are points of interest that show different ways of life in a different country. 👍
Thank you Roger, appreciate that...always nice to have some pointers of what people want to see more of. I have a couple of projects I'm working on, but not sure when I will be able to finish them 🙈😁 I'f I'm lucky, I'm going down in southern Europe this winter for some gravel adventures, but nothing 100% yet. I will write down some ideas about the topics you mention and see what I can make of it. Cheers 🔥
@@tshansen 👍🏾
Great video👍and a nice reminder for those who might have postponed this... 😬
Haha, thank you Hestad 🙏🏻 I get some question about this, and hope it can be of value for some out there. Take care of your equipment, and the equipment will take care of you 🔥
@@tshansen Well put, cannot argue against that 👌
Never miss a TH-VID, there's always something to learn.😉
Short riding seasons... that's one downside of living up north I guess.
If the salt is there I also don't come out, but that's for in a few months,
Until then : dirty helmets... maybe wear a mask underneath when it becomes unbearable 😁
Yeah, the downside is short season, but it makes the feeling when riding so much better (in a wierd way) but the dark months are perfect for planing, looking at your equipment and make changes before a new season 👏🏻🔥
Another great vid👌🏻
Thank you Yoda 👏🏻
Just a side note: I would never dare to bring water into the helmet's shell. The shock absorbing material(s) (EPS, and especially the green stuff used by Klim) are of an open cell structure thus absorbing water quickly. Since water is not compressible (but air is), you loose most if not all of the shock absorbing properties and render your $$$$ helmet into a plastic bucket of less practical value.
So heat, sweat, rain, cold, condensation etc is ruining your helmet? From what I know about this, there is nothing on the helmet that can't be exposed to water?
@@tshansen Yes, all of these (plus dust and other solid materials your helmet picks up during a ride) diminish the absorbing quality of your inner shell(s) over time and are among of the many reasons, helmet manufacturers recommend a new bucket every x years (or mileage). However, usually this kind of humidity is first absorbed by the comfort liner and reaches the inner shell mostly as vapor that does not necessarily condensate within the inner shell material.
The point is the micro porous structure that leads to capillary effects sucking in fluids while making it difficult or even impossible for the fluid to fully evaporate once it's inside. I am too concerned to replace the air inside the inner shells material with water - and not getting rid of it - to apply anything more moist than a damp cloth to the inner shell. If at all.
@@52kr This is a really interesting discussion for me. Cause I have heard the opposite. Yes, the shell will need to be replaced, but that is more because of UV light and making the outer shell hard (easy to crack) I need to investigate this further and get in contact with some of the bigger brands on the market. (klim, Arai, shoei etc) I have a old helmet I will saw in two and take a look. Because I have done this for years 🤔
@@tshansen Outer shell materials age as well as inner shell materials do, but they do so differently and for different reasons. In the end, it's usually the unavailability of spare parts that kills the bucket prematurely (a broken peak visor killed my HJC, a shredded comfort liner killed my Suomy and will probably do so to my Airoh too).
I'm curious to hear the responses of the large brands as I haven't found anything within their care instructions regarding the inner shell... I had a look at Schuberth, Klim and Arai (iirc). I act as I do due to my understanding of the inner workings of these materials...
Maybe a topic for another video? "What to do and not to do to your helmet/protective gear" or so?
@@52kr this is really a great topic and you have some strong and valid points. This is without a doubt a great topic for a new video 👏🏻🔥
Hey mate, nice video :) I use to rub my visor from top to down, if there are any particles left (sand/dust/bugs) you might scratch it and in that way it wont be such noticable. and gread tip with the silikone Grease, havent thought about that
Thank you mate… that is not a bad idea… if there will be scratches you don’t notice that good when they go up and down. 👍🏻 It always amaze me to hear that some people never do maintenance on some of their equipment. Some helmet manufacturers provides a little bottle of silicon when you buy it to apply on the seal every now and then. Highly recommended to do at least once every season. Are you done with your studies now?

@@tshansen no net yet, i have one of of the three major exams on Wednesday an the second one in three weeks. after that im probably going to have some time to do some riding and videos again.
@@REDFred Well, good luck with that. Sounds like something you need to prioritise 👏🏻 we are not going anywhere. So keep focus on the important stuff, and we see you soon enough.
I know the feeling. When you can't ride you spend time with your things just to stay sane. This morning we had -2 degrees so perhaps I will have a clean helmet too soon.
Hahaha, what we do to keep sane 🤣👏🏻 i washed my bike yesterday, so it will go into the garage until next year and season 🔥
@@tshansen Lucky us down south. My bike is always in the garage ready to go out with some dirt from last ride. I managed to ride at least once every month the last two years.
@@NomadSweden here they have a crazy fetish for salting roads, so riding in the winter is just not an option. It makes more damage than good. But it gives a great feeling when spring finaly arrives
Here it doesnt matter. Salt on winter roads but they also salt all gravel roads in the summer. So we just go. We have salt everywere and it just makes us drink more beer.
@@NomadSweden Haha, well you can’t argue with that 😂
I wish i could use that helmet , but klims size sucks, they admitted that there is a big difference in the sizes when spoke to them on Mc fair in Gothenburg
What is the problem with the sizing? I heard they only use tho different sizes in the shell and the rest is done with the padding?
Never even thought of doing this 🤔 thanks for the tip 😛
@@tshansen It's a big span between M and L
@@Jpson67 Yeah I have heard rumours about this. Do you know if they will address this at a later model?
@@RidetheBean Haha, well... you should. I see most people don't do it. It wall take care of your helmet for many years. 🔥
Thank you for washing 👍Jag har aldrig tvättat min hjälm, kanske borde jag göra det. 😂
I morse var det -0,5 grader när jag åkte ut, slutet är nog nära nu😥
Var det en reflektion av hjälmen i luckan på tvättmaskinen? 8:09 Det såg nästan ut så.🤔
You are welcome Jonas 👏🏻 Ja du burde virkelig ta en grundig vask av hjelm I slutten av hver sesong. Det samler seg my drit i den, og innefóret er fylt med svette og hudrester. Her var det 2 grader i natt, så det begynner å fryse på i skygge partiene. Regner med saltbilen er på veiene snart. Så for min del er det over nå. Sesongen er slutt 🤭 Men jeg er fornøyd. Det er blitt mange gode km i årets som har vært.
Refleksjonene i vaskemaskinen er joby tripoden min 🤣
@@tshansen Ah tripoden, det kunde ha varit hjälmen som väntat på tvättmaskinen 😂 Eventuellt kan det finnas några norska veps kvar i hjälmen från Norgeresorna, vill du att jag skickar tillbaka dem 🐝🇳🇴😂
@@JoonesAdventuresMC Hahaha, nei... du kan sende de til Mattias, han liker alt som er norsk 🤣
@@tshansen Skickar dem till honom . Jag gillar mycket från Norge, men inte veps 😂
Wow. Never washed my helmet in a sink like that. 👍🤔
Most people don't.... most people don't clean it at all. But you should. But I some will argue that the inner shell stuff don't do so well with water. I have never found this as a problem, or heard from manufacturers that their helmet can't take some water. But I will split my old helmet in half, reach out to the different companies and make a video about that as well. 👏🏻
Helmet cleaned here as well....😬😫
So the season is over for you as well Sven? I parked my bike yesterday. Riding to work today with -2 degrees…. So now i will wait until next year before i ride again.
@@tshansen yes it is over now. Some nights already below zero here too. Salt on the roads just east of Haugesund reported 😖
@@thetubelesschannel Same here… salt on the main roads in and out of town this morning. So there is no point stretching it any more. Let be happy with the year and make plans for next season instead 🔥
@@tshansen that is the plan...to make plans hehe 😁
Mate, what programm did you use for washing it in dishwasher? My helmet melted! For f**ks sake 😅
🤣🔥👏🏻 auto up to 70 degrees! I guess your helmet was really dirty then 😇😉 dirty mind = dirty helmet 😝
@@tshansen haha hat always match the owner 😂
