I still love my new Aegis Aspen because of the way it fits, but if you  
have one or are going to buy one, **DO NOT SPRAY IT WITH BUG SPRAY**.

At the 3-day ride last weekend I sprayed my whole body with Deep Woods  
Off, just like I always do, and where it touched the helmet it  
completely ruined the finish.  It looks all scarred up, kind of  
scratchy and white.  Wetting it and scrubbing hard with a thumbnail  
does remove most of the residue, but it leaves a shiny finish  
underneath instead of the matte finish the rest of the helmet has.   
Because of this, I didn't bother trying Goo Gone, rubbing alcohol, or  
anything like that... it would still have looked awful afterwards.

The good news is, State Line Tack is sending me a new one, as well as  
a UPS call tag to send the old one back.  I will be contacting Devon  
Aire to let them know about this crucial flaw in their product design.

I still recommend this helmet, but from now on I will bug spray my  
head BEFORE I put my helmet on... it won't be difficult to remember,  
since I already make sure I don't get it on my sunglasses or my  
diamond ring.  I just wish I had known before I ruined a perfectly  
good helmet.
