Don't know about you guys but I find it a real PITA to get all this gear on. Any little bit helps and this little sucker is awesome!

Makes the straps too thick IMO

And here I thought it was going to be a bungee net for your back seat.

Socal5646 · December 5th, 2011, 09:29 PM

lol...That's the padding for the chin straps....you use the helmets original straps....have to remove the d ring and see in the female end of the buckle...

Jiggles · December 5th, 2011, 09:31 PM

Yea I have a helmet with a buckle, and its just too big. I use it for girlies that want to ride on my bike since I don't have to explain to them how D rings work

But then you get to attach the helmet to their pretty little head for them

Trying to follow the link so I can get a better view of it but definitely looks useful. Might just have to order one and have it waiting for me back in the states.

I just tell them that it's like a belt. they usually get it after a second

I have a buckle on my helmet. I think it's near perfect except for discovering I can't really use my bike's helmet lock with it. You also don't have to sew the strap to install. Here is the one I have...

I dont particularly mind the D-rings because of the low profile of it... but really, how hard is it to buckle the D-ring?

Also, for some reason I trust the D-rings more. Simple and known to work.

Truth! If it didn't come from the helmet mfg. as part of the helmet then I won't trust it. Of course, I also don't see gear as an inconvenience, so me and the OP are obviously coming from 2 different places.

saxnbass · December 8th, 2011, 09:16 AM

I can fasten my d-rings with gloves on, as I'm sure most of you guys can too. I don't see why people seem to have an issue with the d-rings

Damnit!! I find this really freakin hard and I thought everyone just deals

Actually I lie - I can do up the D ring (because it's never totally unstrapped haha), but I find it really difficult to snap the excess strap into the stud, because I can't feel the stud with my gloves on.

That being said though I ride to and from work every day without gloves on because it's only just over a km away from home. I know that makes me a squid but by the time I put gloves on and deal with that b@stard strap stud I'm at work... and I'm always running late.

^ Get an alarm clock?
