    Default Looking for a quick release strap for a modular helmet - any ideas?

    I have tried a quick release from https://www.amazon.com/Helmet-Releas...7762600&sr=8-1 for a full modular helmet but it is a bit too loose for my satisfaction. Does anyone know of a quick release that would work better for a modular helmet?

    Thanks

    There are a couple other styles but they all add at least 1 inch to the loop under your neck.
    I ended up buying my carbon lid with quick release from Europe because the same USA model was D-ring.

    When I was Vending I bought a bunch on E-bay for about $ 2.00 ea. .... they arn't as big as that one ..... it did require you cutting off the " D " rings and sewing it on .... but sewing isn't rocket science .... ..... JMHO .... Mike

    I have 2 helmets. a Full Face and a Modular. I use this release on both helmets.
    No cutting of the D Rings is needed.

    This is the model of add-on quick release buckle I have used.

    https://www.motorcyclegear.com/parts...se_buckle.html

    Very sturdy -- in fact, it's pretty stiff until you use it awhile. But it works fine, with no cutting required.

    Just wondering which "full modular helmet' dosnt come with a quick release strap these days?

    I previously had a Nolan then went to Evoline with the fully folded back chin bit if ya wanted to,
    latest helmet is a LS2 Valiant, which I find great by the way.

    All had the quick release catch as SOP.

    I've used several of these over the year. Given enough use the male end might eventually break and need replacement. Have them on two helmets I currently use most.

    For one, the HJC C90 modular. The USA version in Carbon Fiber comes with D rings but the Europe version has quick-release.
    AND the US lid is over $100 more.

    I've used one that's all metal in the actual attachments with just a little plastic cover. I've had all plastic clip's in the past and they have broken..............

    But where can the poor suckers in the States buy a Europe version? What would the shipping cost be?

    Not all the Europe versions are quick-release. Look at https://hjchelmets.eu/products/rpha-12-carbon. That one is DOUBLE-D RING

    Once upon a time, I bought a quick release buckle for a full face helmet because it was so hard trying to thread the D rings up under the edge of the helmet. It worked, but where it had to be attached to the D rings put the buckle in a place that bit into the edge of my jawbone.

    Take whatever moral you want to from this fable.

    I already had the US model of the HJC C90 with D-rings that fits my noggin and my other lids all have quick release (QR). I wanted the lighter C90 Carbon model but only the EU model uses the QR. I ordered the lid from Netherlands and got the QR and saved over $100 in the process.
