It's the little things....
Went by the dealer today to talk to a tech I know and run a VIN for a buddy looking at a used bike. Anywho. I walked up front to poke around and see what was on the floor etc. I walk by the helmet rack and notice a little gadget in a box on top of the helmet display. Helmet quick release, made by Echo. Looked it over, seems to be a cool little piece. Paid for it, stuck it in my jacket pocket and rolled on home. Got home and fitted the thing to my helmet and ...... WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE. This thing is awesome! No fumbling with D rings, and my Biltwell helmet has a snap on the strap that always got snagged in the D ring. Not to mention I have Ball Park hot dogs for fingers. Got it adjusted and it's great. I HIGHLY recommend this little doo-dad to anyone who doesn't like jacking with D rings on helmet straps.
Anyway, y'all probably already know about this thing and I've been under a rock but if you haven't, it's the best $8 you'll spend today.

True story...... My last helmet had one of those quick snaps... And I'm like cool gonna love the ease of snapping it on.... Well one day I'm on the LIE doing 65 and snap, gone in an instant. Looking back in my side view mirror I watched as it got run over a couple times... D rings don't do that...

You will need to get a new one each time u get a new helmet I am pretty sure.

My joy may be a little premature but the way the two parts lock together I don't see how they could come unsnapped unless they're not all the way together to begin with, or the metal piece breaks all together. Don't know the issue with the one that had problems posted about above but I'll reserve judgement wether or not it's tried and true.... all I know so far is it's also damn easy to take on/off.
I snapped the sides together and pulled like hell and the joint felt solid as a rock. Time will tell I suppose.

I wore em for years with all my motor helmets. Never had a problem. One year we were issued new lids with Velcro straps. After a year of hard use the Velcro would get weak just about the time the new issue would be due. For civilian use I image they would last the lifetime of a helmet. As for the quick release buckles...I love em, on every helmet but my FF Shoei.
