Yeah it's a tough one. like I said you be the jugde.
Personally in that situation. I'd probably just get a new one online. maybe I'd use that one until the new one shipped in.

Alex is right about the age of the liner. It is designed to crush at a certain rate. Theres other factors to consider as well. Like wether or not it's storage environment had an any effect on its integrity
or if it was dropped. A dropped helmet doesn't always show signs it was dropped.

Beside chances are a newer helmet will protect your egg better than that helmet would if it were brand new, due to advances in testing/technology/production etc etc etc blah blah. I'd just get a new one.

BUT if your really set on using that one, then I'd recommend contacting HJC to see what they say. Some one correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they'll actually test it if desired??? Who knows what cost this would entail? I don't. maybe nothing but shipping! Contact em. Hope we helped some.
