Has the bulletproof helmet expired

  • Has the bulletproof helmet expired? There are two different views in this regard. Some people believe that bulletproof helmets will not expire and can be used forever; others believe that bulletproof helmets have a certain lifespan. What is the fact?
  • In many cases, most people prefer to use new bulletproof helmets over old ones. The reason is simple: bulletproof helmets on each layer of material are used to resist certain impacts, and metal products are no exception. Over time, the strength of these materials gradually decreases, which may affect the expected safety. Therefore, after years of use, experts recommend users to replace bulletproof helmets.



    Furthermore, it is undeniable that the maintenance of ballistic helmets must maintain their original effectiveness. As long as the helmet is in good condition and properly maintained, its potential can be unleashed indefinitely in the wild. Only a few external factors can affect the lifespan of helmets. For example, if a helmet is exposed to extreme temperatures or other harsh environmental conditions, it will be damaged, thereby shortening its service life. In addition, if the helmet is frequently subjected to impacts or strong vibrations, it may also be damaged. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety and optimal performance of bulletproof helmets, it is recommended to regularly inspect the helmets to ensure their normal operation. In addition, if bulletproof helmets are frequently used, the energy layer inside the helmet should be replaced regularly to ensure optimal operation.

  • So, how to maintain bulletproof helmets?


    -Regularly inspect the protective material on the outer layer of the helmet for signs of cracking, rupture, or tearing. If these issues are found, the helmet should be replaced immediately.


    -Regularly apply barrier oxidants to the top layer of bulletproof helmets to prevent material oxidation from affecting the deterioration or damage of internal bulletproof materials, and to prevent daily wear and tear.


    Cleaning is also very important after using bulletproof helmets

    When cleaning helmets, only use soft cleaning agents or water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using corrosive chemicals, abrasives, or solvents as they may damage the helmet.


    After cleaning the outer side of the helmet, dry the helmet with a soft fabric, taking special care to dry the inside of the helmet. Then place the ballistic helmet in a cool and dry storage area to avoid moisture and mold on the helmet.


    Generally speaking, the service life of bulletproof helmets will not expire, but will be shortened due to various damages and other factors. By using the correct maintenance methods, you will be able to ensure the safety and more convenient use of bulletproof helmets. After careful care, bulletproof helmets can also be used for a long time, providing safety protection when you don't need a new helmet.
