...does everybody every so often put their gloves on before their helmet? Probably a newb thing. I've only been riding for 5 or so months.

I put the helmet on first, its not so easy fiddling with the D rings while you have gloves on

I do it when im not thinking about it.. If im planning my trip and where im going i start putting on my gloves and then put my helmet on and get pissed at myself! haha! ive found its easy to work the D-Ring with 1 glove on tho.. Just make sure the glove is on your right hand so your left hand can feel the ring haha.

I hate putting the helmet on, then your gloves. Only to realize my keys are still in my pockets.

I still do it.....

MOTORCYCLE HELMET QUICK RELEASE BUCKLE ECHO BLACK | eBay

I had one of those on a previous helmet and haven't bought another, I need to though. This things worked great for me, and no need for a glove less hand.

I do this all the time and it pisses me off. And that important phone call you get after you have all your gear on.
