Easy enough to install, but very difficult to use. Getting the helmet on required a mirror because if you insert the buckle incorrectly (all too easy to do) it gets stuck and won't release. Getting the helmet off once the buckle was inserted correctly required a fair amount of hand strength -- perhaps more than some smaller riders possess. When I decided to get rid of it, the process of uninstalling the quick-release buckle took a lot of work and some powerful tools in order to avoid damaging the helmet.
Great release, but not a quick connect at all!August 25, 2010 Phillip Hamberlin(racer_phill) This product works very well when you are trying to take your lid off. It is a bit of hassle to connect it when getting on the bike though.
The only other bad thing I would say about it is that is pinches hair out of my beard! Be careful about that!
Glove on Glove off !August 1, 2010 Busy Buddy(New York) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I recently seen this on another riders helmet and it caught my attention.
I've only owned helmets with the D-ring style lace through strap for many
years so I decided to try something new. I did like the idea that I can fasten
the helmet strap with gloves on, as I usually forget and have to take my gloves back off. It is much faster and did take a little practice at first, no big deal.
The plus is that it can be removed with no damage to the original strap.
Hard to use or make workJuly 2, 2010 Randy Samsel(Columbus, Ohio United States) I got it installed with no problems on my Harley half shell helmet but using it is turning out to be a hassle. I have problems getting both prongs to line up right to snap it together. Then if you don't get it lined up right snapping it on it can be a true challenge getting it unclipped. I am not very coordinated to begin with, which is why I wanted a quick connect/disconnect option but so far and have used it about a dozen times it is just not working for me.

It was ok, a little tough to snap in. You have to align it correctly. even then I noticed a few times it actually came loose. I readjusted the strap and madeit tighter on my chin. This seems to help. overall I would use the strap. It is safer
