Just wondering if you think/know the guidelines to do with replacing a riding hat say every 5 years, even if you've not had a fall while wearing it or e.g. haven't dropped it on the ground by accident. I suspect if you were to ask the manufacturers and tack shops, that they would say oh yes, you must replace it every few years, want to try one on...
I believe it's advisable for motorbike riders to replace their helmets every 5 years even if they've not been in an accident (that's what Royal Jordanian says anyway and I think he knows his stuff) So should we be doing the same just to ensure we're using a hat which is still up to the job?
Thanks for any input.
