Yes. The built-in rain gutter helps divert water, and the shell is designed for outdoor use. The ventilation helps with comfort in warm or humid conditions.

The shell is UV-stabilized ABS, chosen for scratch resistance and outdoor durability. Some variants may reference HDPE in product descriptions, but the standard V Gard-500 uses UV-stabilized ABS for reliability in harsh environments.

Wipe the shell with a mild detergent and water, rinse, and let it air dry. Avoid harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners. Do not modify or drill into the helmet. Inspect regularly for cracks, deformation, or damaged suspension and replace if necessary.
