Nice! I have the ratchet style on my 1/2 helmets and can snap it and unsnap it with my gloves on no problem. In the winter, or multi day trips, we wear our Pit Boss helmets and I can't (won't), tell you how many times I forget to strap the strap through the D Buckles on it and already have my gloves on! This would cure that for sure, plus all the other benefits discussed. Gonna order a pair right now! Just my opinion, butt the other style just looks too plasticy and cheap to me. Plus I'm already used to the ratchet style. Thanks for posting this @702 !!

These have worked well for me and the wife. Very easy to latch and unlatch with or without gloves. A PITA to get on, but worth it. It takes patience

Every one of our helmets has a Rydewear buckle on it. These things are great.

I stopped being in a hurry years ago.
If you are in a hurry however, the subject of this thread looks like a great little buckle to me.

My Nolan has what they call a microlock fastener. I wouldn't call it quick release as I am yet to be able to undo it one handed as I can with a double D buckle.

Nolan state that the fastener be done up a minimum of 5 clicks which in some respects mean it is not quick do up either compared to just pulling on the strap when doing up a double D buckle.

I very much like the crash helmet so I will accept the fastener.

I did the same as it would pull on my whiskers, I bought a Dayton 1/2 helmet and it has a built in quick release that has the clickable adjustment thingy, not more whisker pull, pull the little strap and it releases, works very well.
