JAKARTA - Helmet maintenance is highly recommended for motorcycle riders to ensure safety and durability, especially for daily use.
Reyner Christian Gunawan of Origine Helmets Indonesia provides tips on proper helmet care to ensure comfort. So, what are these tips?
"Helmet maintenance is actually easy for all helmets. So, after use, it must be dried first and then stored properly," he said when met in the Kelapa Gading area of Jakarta on August 9, 2025.
He further explained that when a helmet is damp or wet and immediately stored, whether it's a local or imported brand, it can harbor bacteria.
"If it's put directly into a cover and stored, it can breed bacteria and damage the foam of the helmet itself," he said.
He also advised against drying helmets in direct sunlight or under direct sunlight. This can quickly damage the helmet.
"It should also not be exposed to direct sunlight, let alone drying upside down, as that can damage the helmet," he explained.
So, make sure to take good care of your helmet to keep it safe and comfortable when used on the road.
