    Hi all,

    Looking for a recommendation for a bike helmet. I have an issue with the "inner pad" I think its called i.e. the velcro attached bit of material inside the helmet. It is the second one I have had for this helmet - I get quite hot so it gets a weekly wash - problem is washing it the first time pretty much made it fall apart (velcro and material layers separated) so I ended up stitching it back together which was a pain but worked.

    So, rather than going through this faff again if I get a new pad, does anyone have a recommendation for a helmet with a bit more robust detachable inner pad that can take a wash? It's a bog-standard Trek helmet that came with my MTB.

    Thanks in advance!

    I gave up on the shaped bits of thin foam which came with my helmet and just folded up one of the strips of fleece we used as nappy liners - greater capacity and robust enough to be washed normally.

    You can get spares for some. I've also made a new set of pads with felt from a craft shop, using the old one as a template.
