More relevant is that if it storms your helmet can get mildew inside of it within a couple hours.

a $500 is not gonna get all mildewy from water. we sweat in them during the summer and yet my lid doesnt stink. had it for over a year with out washing the insides since only the cheek pads are able to be removed. RF1000
the lining in todays lids are made of something i forgot that lets you not have to worry about stuff like that
