How about a stick cars scattershield, made of 1/4" steel, needing recert every 2 or 5 years, depending on SFI spec used.Short of a clutch explosion, which would ruin the bellhousing, how the hell does that wear out?

Skin and hair oils degrade the foam in the helmet. Next time you are at a goodwill store, yard sale, etc and see an old helmet flip it over and pull the fabric back a little and you will see what has happened to it.
