I live in southern Florida and ride about 5 days a week. Because of this, I go through about two-three helmets a year because they keep getting bleached brown by the sun. I have tried helmet covers, but they cover my helmets vents and make it too hot. I have an IRH elite helmet right now that is holding up pretty well, but it is already embarrasing to use because it is so faded. Anyone have any product suggestions like sprays or helmets that don't fade?
I would get a white one but I ride level 7 jumpers at a very nice show facility where (I know this sounds crazy) they actually have a schooling dress code which means black or black/silver helmet.....ugh....I have a GPA that I use for showing so IRH is cheaper but every dollar adds up
I was going to suggest a helmet cover, but I see you already tried that. I would try having a separate helmet for schooling that is a light color. You can save your IRH for shows. A light color will help keep you cool while schooling, and you should be able to get one inexpensively.
EDIT - Will a black one that is hard plastic on the outside meet the dress code? I think the hard plastic might resist fading better than fabric.
