The Trek Solstice helmet is made of numerous materials, consisting of a protective foam layer made of EPS and a polycarbonate shell. The remaining materials consist of various types of plastic.
When should I replace my helmet?
Replace an old helmet or a helmet with damage. The helmet is designed to absorb shock by partial destruction of the shell and liner. This damage may not be visible. Therefore, if subjected to a severe blow, the helmet should be destroyed and replaced even if it appears undamaged. The helmet has a limited lifespan in use and should be replaced when it shows obvious signs of wear.
Helmet parts lose strength over time, so even if the helmet has not been impacted or damaged, replace it after three years from date of purchase.
What safety standards does the helmet comply with?
Trek Solstice complies with US CPSC safety standards for bicycle helmets, the EU CE safety standards for bicycle helmets and the AS/NZS safety standards for Australia and New Zealand.
What is the Crash Replacement Guarantee?
Our Crash Replacement Guarantee provides anyone with a free replacement helmet if they have been involved in a crash within the first year of purchase. Simply request proof of purchase, accident details and a return address for the replacement helmet.
