mhr which model n wht size? i wana go try...

MHR OF622 XXL about RM220

Btw is GSB helmets good/decent ? Specifically GSB S-361.

You mean the linings/paddings ?

Remove and hand wash it with mild clothes detergent .

However my helmet no smell because I always wear headscarf.

Yeah.
Wearable items never buy online. That includes the gloves as well.
Unless you are buying the same model.

inner padding i remove and dump it into a laundry bag/net and dump it in the washing machine n drier along with my other laundry at coin laundrys... specifically laundrybar coz thats where i go the most.

the rest of the helmet, if im in the mood to do it, i just spray with water in my toilet using the shower head n soap it down with shampoo usually both the exterior and interior....leave to dry indoors for a few days (straps need time to dry). once dry i take a damp cloth to wipe the visors to remove any water stains and wipe dry.


seen this helmet around... looks nice... but dunno quality....quick check on youtube i can see emergency release pads....

but i wont consider this specific model.. doesnt looks like it has the inner sunvisor which to me is a must in my helmets.

All the helmet inner and padding I wash in coin laundry. Together with my gloves, balaclava and jacket.
Didn't even use a laundry bag. Never damage anything yet.

But I never dried them in a dryer. I always air dry under the sun.
The helmet exterior I use soapy water and a towel. The visor I use glass cleaner most of the time, sometime visor cleaner. But I find that glass cleaner cleans better so...

Thanks to you I also now wash everything in coin laundry.
Makes my life a lot easier. All my stuffs now clean and wangi all the time.

I see, thanks guys for the idea. I only bought those foam spray, directly spray on it and wipe it clean then let it dry, but the result is not really satisfactory. I shall remove the inner padding to wash it separately. Need to check if those inner paddings can be removed to wash or not. i think the school/academy helmet (Xdot) may not be removable to wash though.

ah u must be a metro student i assume? no its not removable

Though foam spray is a cleaner , but not enough. It's more masking the odour.

yes, i went together with a cool dude who has the exact same initial as you too
nvm la, just try to clean as much as i can, otherwise gonna discard it if the smell is unbearable.


yup, maybe need multiple wash/spray to clean, once is not enough and yeah, it sort of masking the odour only with some artificial lemon smell etc. so it is still best to use detergent to soak it a bit and clean it, more effective that way.

non removable padding still can wash mar,
scrub it with lots of dish washing liquid to remove those oil, do it few times, rinse, till no more black water lol.
dunk in baldi to rinse, the helmet need some time to totally dry.

will try this also, let's see if i can restore it.

if possible, spend the money on a removable padding helmet... its so worth it when it comes to cleaning. (the new Givi M35.0 is sexy af)

non removables will take multiple days to dry... and u have to put it proper side up so the water can drip out of the helmet.. instead of upside down where the water will pool right smack in the middle and take longer to dry...which is more time needed for the helmet to stink up again....

also dont put the helmet in the sun. the heat from our sun is more than enough to melt some glues thats on the helmet thats holding some parts together.

dont ask me how i know hahahaha

givi m35.0 padding is more comfortable than my hjc i90
really showed me that I shouldn't look down on cheaper helmet

...if anything, just get a helmet with removable pads. You can find pretty decent open faces around 300ish.

Seriously... Its not easy to upkeep a helmet with non removable pads. It will be out of service for a few days each time it gets wet. Furthermore, it stinks and I don't want a dirty helmet sitting on my face.

For me, I just throw the pads in the washer on its own (don't wash with other clothes which might catch and snag). Just use mild detergent and no softener. Then air-dry indoors with a fan blowing on it. Dries in 1-2 days. Sometimes I will also throw in my gloves in the same wash cycle.

But in most cases, you can just hand wash them.

I have a dryer, but I still usually just air-dry the pads and gloves.

Yes don't underestimate Givi, their open face model is very aerodynamic... tested with S1000XR running at 200kmph while wearing a Givi M30.2 Presto .. (bad example, please do not follow.. ride ATGATT)

that speed is nothing on that bike

The Givi m35.0 is "First jet-type helmet with new ECE R22.06 approval in Malaysia"
