A compromised helmet is not just broken equipment — it is a safety risk. This guide helps you identify when your helmet needs repair, and when it must be replaced for your protection.
Why Helmet Safety Cannot Be Compromised
A cricket ball travelling at 130+ km/h carries enormous kinetic energy. Your helmet is the only thing standing between that ball and a serious head injury. Equipment that looks intact may have hidden structural damage that severely reduces protection.
When to Repair
- Chin strap buckle broken or stretched
- Foam padding compressed but cage and shell undamaged
- Surface scuffs, dents, or paint chips with no structural involvement
- Peak visor loose or cracked but grille intact
When to Replace — No Exceptions
- Any direct ball impact to the grille or shell — even if it looks undamaged
- Visible cracks in the outer shell
- Grille bars bent, broken, or showing gaps
- Helmet more than 5 years old regardless of condition
⚠️ Helmets do not show internal damage visibly. After any significant impact, replace — not repair — the helmet.
