It is okay to keep a helmet in my trunk?
My thought is the heat won't be a problem, cause if I was riding in the baking sun - it would be the same heat. I have several helmets and I was thinking I'd keep one in the trunk of my car, in case I an un-expected opportunity to ride. ![]() |

Wait, you're in Hawaii.. it doesn't really get HOT in Hawaii.
![]() I can't imagine it would be that much of a problem.. highs are usually in the 80's right? Trunk is shaded, and while the temperature inside would be higher than the ambient outside temperature, being as I typically ride in upper 90's/100 degree temps here in Texas, I don't really think it would be too much of an issue. But I'm no expert. ![]()

Are you going to put your helmet next to all the water?

I wouldn't leave it in the trunk, the concentrated heat could cause the foam to de-bond from the shell, although I doubt it's very likely. I'd be more concerned about all the rolling around it would do back there, although something like the Scorpion racecase would take care of it. I have one and it's great. You can find them on amazon for about $40.

I left a torque wrench in my hatchback, and even though the hatch is a completely covered area with a plastic cover on top of it, the wrench was too hot to touch.

i wouldn't leave it in your trunk. the liner is some kinda styrofoam and the heat may make it more brittle over time.
