helmet stickers

[Dorianfes]

I heard that putting stickers on your helmet can weaken the "structural integrity of the helmet?"  Anyone here know about the validity of this?  I googled it and found that for regular hard-hats they don't recommend putting stickers on because the adhesive weakens the plastic, but I dunno if this is true for motorcycle helmets too.

Motorcycle helmets are clear coated, so wouldn't the clear coat protect the actual surface of the helmet from the stickers?

Wait .. we don't own Canadia?

Damn

and to hijack, if you read the literature that comes with your helmet, it generally says do not put stickers on because they weaken the structural integrity.  The Shoei site doesn't mention stickers, but the pamphlet with my RF did.

2. Plastic Parts incl. Shield
Plastic parts should not be cleaned with agents containing solvents (including any petrochemicals) as these are absorbed by the plastic material, cause its slow deterioration and thus increase the risk of breaking. Acid or alkali-based corrosive cleaning agents as well as window cleaner are equally unsuitable. The shield should only be cleaned with water and a neutral cleaning agent. Heavily soiled areas can be gently cleaned using a soft toothbrush or a cotton swab.
