Step 1:

  • Find the alphanumeric Serial Number and the manufacture date located on the labels attached to the chinstrap or found on the internal EPS liner, as these details are mandatory for the technical team to verify the specific production batch and hardware revision of your gear.

  • Keep a digital or physical copy of your original sales invoice from an authorized SMK dealer, because the warranty is strictly valid only for the original retail purchaser and the receipt serves as the definitive proof required to validate the start of your coverage.

  • Access the registration section of the official website to link your helmet to your consumer profile, which ensures your specific model and purchase history are documented for streamlined claim processing and to qualify for any available coverage extensions.

Step 2:

  • Log into the official consumer support portal or contact your local authorized distributor to submit a detailed description of the reported issue along with high-resolution photos, allowing the technical specialists to perform an initial remote evaluation to determine if the hardware requires a physical inspection.

  • Double-check that your helmet was originally designed and certified for your specific regional market, as service centers typically only provide support for models built for their designated territory to ensure they meet local safety standards like ECE 22.06 or DOT.

  • Perform a basic inspection of the removable interior parts and visor mechanisms to rule out issues caused by normal wear or improper maintenance, which are diagnostic steps to help clarify the nature of the hardware defect.

Step 3:

  • Obtain an official Return Authorization once your technical details have been reviewed, as you must have this authorization before sending your helmet to the service center to ensure it is properly tracked and routed to the correct technician.

  • Follow the detailed packaging instructions provided during the authorization process, ensuring that you ship the helmet in a sturdy box with adequate padding to prevent any cosmetic damage to the shell during its transit to the workshop.

  • Coordinate with the support team for the final resolution, where the workshop will, at its discretion, repair or replace any part found to be defective in materials or workmanship to ensure your helmet is restored to factory specifications.

SMK Warranty Period:

  • limited 1-year warranty from the purchase date against defects in materials and workmanship, extendable to 2 years by registering the helmet on their website within 30 days of purchase.

What is covered under the SMK Warranty?

These are covered in SMK's warranty policy

  • Shell and EPS Integrity: Protection against manufacturing defects in the EIRT (Energy Impact Resistant Thermoplastic) outer shell and the multi-density EPS impact-absorbing liner.
  • Component Workmanship: Coverage for factory-related failures in the ventilation sliders, visor ratchet mechanisms, and integrated sun shield systems.
  • Material Defects: Protection against structural flaws or internal hardware failures that were present from the factory at the time of the original purchase.
  • Chinstrap Fasteners: Coverage for defects in the chinstrap webbing and the micrometric or Double-D ring fastening hardware under normal use.

What is NOT covered under the SMK Warranty?

These are NOT covered in SMK's warranty policy

  • Impact and Accidental Damage: The warranty does not cover helmets that have been dropped, involved in a crash, or subjected to any impact, as the liner is designed to manage energy by deforming once.
  • Environmental Damage: Malfunctions caused by exposure to extreme heat, corrosive chemicals, or the use of improper cleaning agents that can degrade the shell or interior materials.
  • Normal Wear and Tear: Scratches on the face shield, natural compression of the interior comfort foam over time, and minor chips in the paint caused by road debris.
  • Unauthorized Modifications: Any painting, drilling, or modification of the shell or liner by a third party will immediately render the warranty null and void.
