    Helmet protective skin?

    Just purchased a new half helmet. I would like to put some kind of skin on it to help protect it. In the past my helmets get scratched and nicked, sometimes from putting in and out of the saddle bag. Does anyone know of any kind of protective skin I can stick on? Would prefer something clear.

    wax or liquid glass?

    or just put it in a helmet bag. Keep the bag in the saddle bag. Takes 2 seconds to put it in/take it out.

    Hit the helmet with some Plasti-Dip rubber spray paint. Lot's of colors. And easy to remove if you want to change colors.

    To be honest though... a motorcycle helmet is a wear item. Not going to last forever.

    Take care of it. Don't drop it. Treat that helmet; as if it was your bare head. It'll last longer in appearance if you do so....
