i would say it depends on the manufacturers recommendations , what make helmet is it ? . You need to take into account its age + its amount of use and how much sunlight it has been subjected too and how its stored etc , we use the hi viz kask helmets and they are replaced every year due to the fact that we use them 6 days a week throughout the year .

I have a vertex vent but I'm not going to admit that i've had it for 7 or 8 years.

Apparently the life span on this something is two years.

I recall being told at college 3-5 years depending on usage and obviously if it gets a bad knock. I think it states replacement in the vertex info that you get with, I always put the date of when I first use mine inside the helmet

Till you cant get the stink out of it, no matter what or till it has three layers of those nice site induction stickers on it whichever comes sooner.
