Returns & Refund Policy

Not the right fit? Here’s everything you need to know — the quick facts up top, and the full step-by-step when you need it. Applies to consumer purchases on smkhelmets-us.com.


Dealer purchase? If you bought from an SMK Authorized Dealer, please handle your return or exchange directly with that dealer — each Authorized Dealer sets their own return policy.

How to start a return or exchange

Email Info@bikerz-us.com and include:

  • Your name and order number
  • The item you’d like to return or exchange
  • The reason for the return or exchange

Please wait for your Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number before shipping anything back. It can take up to 5 business days for our Customer Service team to process your request. Items sent back without prior authorization may be refused.

Item condition requirements

To be eligible, your item must come back complete and in new, unused condition, including:

  • The retail box / packaging and the helmet bag
  • Chin tags and all shield clings, with the original tags attached
  • Any extra items included — Pinlock inserts, and (for the Patriot) the clear drop-down sunshield and speaker pockets

Please don’t ship the helmet back in the retail helmet box — place that box inside a separate shipping carton to protect it.

What can’t be returned
  • A helmet that has been used
  • A helmet altered with paint or stickers
  • A helmet that has been dropped or damaged through negligence
  • Final-sale / clearance items and gift cards

Returns that arrive without prior authorization, without tags attached, or missing required components may be refused or refunded at SMK’s discretion.

Shipping your return

Once you have your RMA number:

  • Print the return authorization and place it inside the shipping box
  • Write the RMA number on the outside of the box, next to the return shipping label
  • If you’re paying for return shipping, email the tracking number to Customer Service once the item is on its way
Who pays for return shipping

SMK covers return shipping when:

  • The item has an unrepairable manufacturing defect — this excludes shields, shield mounts and liners, which are replaceable parts covered under warranty if deemed appropriate by Customer Service

You cover return shipping when:

  • You’re not satisfied with your purchase
  • You ordered the wrong item for your helmet
  • Size exchange — you pay to send the item back, and we pay to ship the correct size to you
Refunds & timing

Once your item is received and inspected at our Returns Processing Center, your refund is issued to your original payment method. Depending on your card company, it can take up to 14 business days for the credit to post. If it’s been longer than that, please reach back out to Customer Service.

A 15% restocking fee is deducted from the refund on consumer returns. This fee is waived for size exchanges and for items returned due to a manufacturing defect or our error.
