      Specialized dealers should give you a discount on a new specialized helmet if you bring in the damaged ones for them to dispose of 🙂

      This feels like one of those questions that if you’re asking, you probably already know the answer.

      Duhhhhh, dude. You only get one head. Don’t get the cheapest helmet either.

      Yes, every time after a bad fall and if the helmet gets damaged it has to be replaced.

      Define ‘need’?

      If you just need to comply with local traffic laws, no – this will be fine.

      If you wish to protect your brain from irreversable traumatic injury in the future – get a new helmet, this one has done its job.

      Fill it with ramen and Elmer’s glue, followed by a nice sanding with fine grit paper. Should be good as new.
