Having the Caberg Justissimo for the last 2 years, I really got used to the buckle connector on the chin strap. When I recently purchased new half-helmets, they didn't have this feature and I was back to using D-rings.
I didn't know about this product, but many of you might already ...in doing a google search one day just for giggles (get it, google for giggles - I crack myself up!), I came across Echo Helmet Quick Release Buckle. It doesn't look like much ...seems kind of flimsy in the photos, so I was a little leary of buying it, but for under $10, what did I have to lose? I received it in the mail yesterday and just have to say, "WOW". I'll never buy another D-ring helmet without getting one of these with it.
It still doesn't look like much even in person, 3 pieces, two metal and a plastic body, but installation was a 'snap' (literally) and I was surprised at how strong the thing ends up being. It's a little difficult to get connected at first because I'm unfamiliar with it (I had the same problem with the Caberg buckle), but I'm sure I'll be using it like second nature before too long.
It's really a good quality item. Highly recommended. They can be purchased all over the place for around $8-$9.
