Interesting. Although the pads in mine rot in a handful of years, at which point I figure I may as well replace the whole thing instead of trying to find pads for an out-of-production helmet.
Anyways, I'd happily buy a clearance helmet that's been on a shelf for a year or two. But 5 or 10? Nah, I'll take something newer. Maybe not for any good reason, but why risk a helmet that's been banged around a shop or warehouse for years.
