until it breaks or bends out of shape, which could be any time from the first minute of play to 5 years later. if you keep it clean and scratch free it would be good to replace it every season (depending how much playing time you get and whether or not you use it at night and practices)

Unless you fall and land on it, a helmet is good for five-six years.
After that, the ageing process has changed the characteristics of the foam core to the point where it will no longer provide the expected degree of protection. Replace your bike helmet every five to six years if you value your head.
To keep the ageing down as much as possible, try to store the helmet out of direct sunlight, at room temperature.

A NFL football helmet cost a little bit more than $250 dollars. But a regular football helmet is around $75.
A NFL football helemt will run you at least $250 and upwards of $300+ depending on model and paint job/decals. A youth helmet at a lower end will run about $60. While a higher end youth helmet will run $100-150. Best idea I have for you is to call XO Sports (a huge national catalog based in Virginia(???). Awesome service and great prices 866 496 4327. Ask for Cory!
That is not correct. Even youth football helmets are $250 to $450 for a good helmet.
A football helmet is designed to be used around 10 years depending on the brand and usage. Helmets can be reconditioned periodically to extended their useful lives.
