Helmet Strap Question
Helmet Strap Question
Had my 3/4 Rockhard helmet on and realized how comfortable the strap is. I prefer riding with my DOT skid lid from leather Up though. The problem is the strap is crap and actually annoying.
Anyone find a low profile DOT skid lid that also features a decent strap?

I returned a Dot Half from leatherup because of the strap. It would not slide through the D rings to tighten it up without using 2 hands & manipulating the rings. And I don't like quick releases so back it went. I've never had this problem with Vegas, Fulmers, HD..........

Even with those if I needed to snug it up a little it was still impossible. The helmet was nice, the strap/d ring system sucked.

I got a Hells Bells helment. Its DOT approved, low profile and has some fancy art work.Get alot of complements on it as well. however they are very expensive. I wish i would have known about leather up back when i bought mine would have saved some money. But the helmet is very comfortable and looks great. hear is the link http://www.hellsbellscustoms.com/

I have three different Fulmer helmets and the straps on each are similar. They are comfortable and very secure. I like them. Oh, they each have a small button type snap so they are out of your way when cinched.
