I don’t have the original receipt and the item was only occasionally used ( 60 days or less per year) – and otherwise stored in its pouch. Nevertheless – three of the collapsible plastic ties that hold the helmet rings to each other just snapped right through in recent months (one at first, then two more) – something I would call a serious material/design flaw that should not happen to an expensive item as this one which is otherwise still in flawless condition. The MOMA store won’t honor any warranty (absent a receipt) – so I asked Closca if they would? Or alternatively – if there is a repair program in place… reply pending.

Thank You!

In November 2019, three of four hinges suddenly broke. It appears they are made of scored plastic and wore out. I contacted Closca to check whether there was a way to repair the hinges. They just asked me to confirm the date of purchase and offered me a small discount on a new helmet. I assume that means the hinges can’t be fixed. These helmets are too expensive to fall apart after 2.5 years.
