Had this helmet for 3yrs now. Got a few minor crashes that hit the helmet but nothing major and just by now I decided to check the inside layer and found 2 cracks on the foam but the outside layer is fine. should I replace this or is it still safe to use

REPLACE.
holy hell, no. replace now. a new helmet is cheaper than brain damage or a cracked skull.
Bin. Leatt have a crash replacement policy, Wirth seeing if it still qualifies…. You may be out the range though with 3 years.
No, it is not safe anymore, it is damaged. The foam is extremely important in preventing damage to your brain. Cracks like this mean the integrity of the helmet is significantly reduced and it will not function as designed. Replace immediately please.
Nope.
Crack on the inside clearly visible? No way I’d trust my brain to that thing. Replace.
What brand is it? They probably have a crash replacement program where you can get a discount on a new one. For example, [here](https://www.bellhelmets.com/customer-service/crash-replacement.html) is Bell’s.
If you have to ask if it is safe, it is probably not. When in doubt, always make it possible to be sure. Your head is invaluable.
No
The helmet protects you once. Once you crash and hit your head in one, it’s time to replace.
I say this every time someone asks this.
If you have to ask, the answer is no.
In this case, holy shit yes you need to replace that fucking helmet. Shouldn’t even be a question.
I stand with everyone here, please replace that. And go with a Fox helmet, their standards and helmet safety is tops.
Lol is this a serious question? There are cracks in the the helmet. This is not safe to use, replace!
Nope

The answer is always porn. I mean no. The answer is always no.
