I'm selling my old motorcycle, but want to keep my new motorcycle helmet for when I buy another motorcycle in about 10 years. Can I store my motorcycle helmet for that long? What's the best way to store it? How long before it looses its ability to keep my head safe in a crash?

If you store it in a vaccuum, place a laundry dryer sheet in the liner, it should last for years without breaking down the materials in the helmet. If you can have it professionally stored, purge all the air out with nitrogen, then vaccuum seal it.

Why do you want to store it for so long? 10 years from now the advances in technology and production will make helmets far superior to what we have available today.

It really depends upon what it is made from and how long it has been in use, but assuming it is reinforced plastic, I would say so long as you keep out of sunlight and in dry conditions probably 5 years
