It's like wiping before you poop... Frustrating but perhaps necessary to slow one's self down and pay closer attention.

It happened every so often before i bougt this.

Amazon.com: Helmet Accessories - Echo Quick Release Buckle for Motorcycle Helmets AC1201Black: Automotive

since then it doesnt matter. I can also take my helmet off much quicker at when the dreaded be wants to say hello.

i can't say id trust that kind of mechanism. the helmets are made to be extremely secure don't test that.

This will make it more secure then jsut the strap. You cannot pull it apart once it is in place. (I just tested this). When you have just the strap you are able to lossen it by pulling on it. Give it a try. If needed ill throw a video up of me yanking on it.(so to speak)

Plus the i remember the back of the package said it exceeds some type of standard for helmet strap.

I've only done it a few times in all the time I've been riding but my helmet comes with a quick release as standard so it doesn't really matter.

I keep my gloves in my helmet (I'm assuming most people do this) and I set the down on the tank before putting the helmet on. This is basically my routine:

- Disarm alarm
- Hang my helmet (with gloves inside) on my left mirror, set it on the tank or put it on the seat and zip up my jacket if it's not already zipped up.
- Put key in ignition, remove gloves from helmet and set them on the tank
( - Put my Zumo in the cradle if I need it)
- Check if my scala rider is on, put on helmet and sit on bike
- Check if the zipper of my pockets are closed
- Put on gloves and double check zippers

Works like a charm.
