Aftermarket Quick Release Helmet Clips

Anyone use 'em? Im sick of the double D ring bull crap, I'd prefer a quick *click* and I'm off like Jax Teller (just kidding).

Any good companies or cheapy ones i should stay away from? I don't want my helmet falling off and rolling down the interstate...

I've used the Echo quick release on all my helmets over the last 6 or 7 years. Never had a problem with it. Installs easily and it's inexpensive.

Yeah those plastic cheep things will aggravate you as much as the D clamp will, this is the only helmet quick-clamp that's ever been worth a damn and I haven't seen them in a long time.

I have like that echo, it's a love hate relationship! When it lines up right the first time it's great but about half the time one of the prongs will miss and it'll jam and is hard as hell to pull back out! When it does that I absolutely hate it!! I dont know why i keep using it.

I've got an echo I've used for going on 8 years with zero problems.
Money well spent.

Seems like if u don't get it clicked in on the first shot, it's a 5 minute battle to get the helmet buckled.

Maybe just for me...anyone else have this problem?
