huh, the smell never bothers me. But i dont sweat a lot, specially from the head. i'd just febreeze and be done with it, if anything.

You don't dry them immediately? I have a small box fan that I put them onto to dry the inside. If you don't, you run the risk of molding the foam.. and yes, I dunk my entire helmet. Wait, I used to. Now, my Suomy has a completely removable liner.

Mine and my wife's helmets have removable liners so... wash and roll if you want.

She's removed and washed hers...I've wiped mine with a damp cloth and sprayed it with helmet fresh or whatever it's called but haven't actually washed it yet.

My Arai... the only helmet i've ever owned has a removeable liner... I've washed it twice... long before it ever needed it... just something I thought of as I was putting my gear away prior to my deployments.

so does the motorex cleaner not work or what?

I'm leaving them outside in the shade with plenty of wind and the low humidity will dry them helmets off just fine.

I could have taken the liners out but that was too much hassle so I dunked the whole helmets.

It works but only if you use it preemptively. Don't wait until the helmet stinks to heaven and then use it.

Yep, after five days the helmets dry up nicely. One of the advantages of living in the desert.
