AND, while I am at it.  REPLACE any helmet that takes an impact.  They are ONE TIME USE ONLY safety items.  One you receive a blow to the head, get a new one.  Many reputable companies will provide a low cost replacement if it is needed.
A curious question, should a helmet be replaced on time alone whether it has taken a good knock or not.  I have been using my present helmet for about 7 years.  Should I replace it as it ages ?
