RE: "Quick-release" helmets.....................

I have used them for years. Each helmet has one. My wife doesn't like it, so she uses the D rings.

RE: "Quick-release" helmets.....................

I wouldn't have a helmet without one. My Nolan flip-face came standard with a quick release.

Hey, I just found these made of tempered steel. They look pretty safe and reasonable. What do you think?

I have been using these for years, no problems, had a 55 MPH get off when I hit a deer, ruined a good Arai helmet, the quick disconnect held good..and trust me it took a good pounding, ground the left side down, rocks and gravel embedded in the back and deep gouges across the front top and bottom..So I say go for it. I bought a new helment and first thing i did was install another quick disconnect.

I've used that kind for years on both touring bikes and sport bikes. It has a solid metal to metal interface. Trust me, if that breaks loose in a crash you've had it anyway. I had some of the cheaper plastic ones on a few helmets, and they also seem to hold pretty well,but I prefer the kind your looking at there.

Thanks all. I just ordered one on ebay for $8.95 with free shipping. That is the best deal I have seen on these.

If anyone is interested just go to ebay and do a search for "quick release helmet" and look for the ones with free shipping.

The HJC I have has the plastic quick release and I have had no problems with it for the past two years.

Those look exactly like the black one on my ACC helmet. I prefer the quick release to the D-Ring setup.

Cheers!

When I got my wife her first helmet(and only so far) she insisted on the quick release since she hated trying to get the D ring to work. I prefer the D ring and it only takes a few seconds.

RE: "Quick-release" helmets.....................

I have tested the limits of a bell helmet on concrete at 45mph+ and can tell you the strap needs to hold on........D-rings for me only because when you are sliding on your head.....you want the helmet to stay on....same goes for jackets...leather takes a lot of abuse that skin don't....but this is all JMHO.......
