Can you get your helmet on and off with gloves on?

[discotex]

I can't do the double-D rings with my gloves on but I can't honestly think of a reason I'd want to take my helmet off without taking my gloves off first. The gloves would get in the way when putting on my sunnies anyway

The other thing is I'd have to put my helmet down while I took my gloves off... I'd rather my gloves fell off the tank!

Do it all the time, easy as pie.

[gw555]

No.

Only tried twice and gave up, just take gloves off its easier

[McDuck]

I can, somtimes.

[Cave Cleaner]

I have trouble doing it up right without my gloves on. Keep missing the second D clip...

[banditrider]

Nope, but may be able to soon. Gloves are nearly worn out - will be able to poke finger tips through ends and operate D-ring. Best be visiting bike shop again...

[Grub]

Yes. Yet another reason to buy Nolan helmets

[Bullitt]

Have never tried, doubt I can
Dont really see much advantage in it, If Im putting a helmet on or off I can take 2 seconds to take gloves off (or put them on after)

D ring - no way summer or winter gloves.

Clip - no problem. I still put gloves on last and remove gloves first out of habit though.

Note to self - don't shake hands with crisis management when he's wearing winter gloves.....

same- but prefer the clip! Do they still sell them at the moment?

[NighthawkNZ:Me]

Yep
Nolan Ratchet style closure. I've been through a few lids in my time and this one is by far the easiest I've used.

ditto

clip on helmet, i can, but with difficulty. wear fingerless in the summer, so obviously can, but the neos are full and make it tricky. if i forget [sometimes i put the gloves on when leaving the house, while carrying keys and sunnies etc in lid.] i just rip em off and then put em back on.

One has found that the "mission critical" part of wearing a helmet is doing things in the right sequence.

One's mantra is "SEQUENCE".

1. Earplugs in.
2. Glasses off.
3. Helmet on (visor facing forward)
4. Glasses on
5. Strap secured
6. Gloves on.

Occasionally one forgets one's mantra, such as on Sunday whilst departing from the Fush, one noted that one had gone straight to step 6. Over nearly five years of motorcycling, one has at times, attempted nearly all combinations of the above sequence. Suffice it to say there is only one order that works.

I'm with Hitcher, except substitute sunnies for glasses. I have the clip type strap on my helmet.
