Care Guide

One of the greatest qualities of EGIDE helmets is their resistance.
Naturally, their longevity also depends upon how they are cared for.
Here is a guide on how to maintain and use the helmets in order to ensure their longevity.

Storage and normal use of the helmet

The EGIDE helmet comes with its own protective bag and storage box.
In order to avoid any scratches, damage or abrasion to parts of the helmet, we recommend that you transport it in its protective bag.
When the helmet is not in use, we recommend that it be kept in its storage box, away from any sunlight. The helmet must never be left exposed to a source of light and/or heat for any long periods of time (e.g. in the back windscreen of a car which is parked in the sun) and must not be exposed to temperatures of under -20°C or over +50°C.
Check the internal and external condition of the helmet and chinstrap before and after each use.
Avoid any contact with corrosive or aggressive substances. The use of solvents may alter the features of the helmet and compromise its quality.
The helmet’s lifespan will depend upon it being carefully maintained and used.

Care of leather ATLAS helmets

EGIDE Atlas helmets are covered with real full-grain leather.
Leather is a natural fabric which may evolve and acquire a patina over time. It may also contain some different surface finishes (shades of colour, vein lines or scars,…), which distinguishes it from other leathers which have been over-treated or imitation leather.
Despite a treatment designed to make the helmets resistant to bad weather and UV rays, we recommend:

that you do not expose your helmet to the sun or moon for lengthy periods and that you store it in its protective bag when not in use;
that you keep it in a place which is neither overly damp nor dry, at room temperature;
that you wipe off any rainwater after use with a soft cloth and leave it to dry at a reasonable distance from any source of heat (e.g. a radiator…);
that you use cleaning products which are suitable for natural leather and no solvents.
