Double D-ring chinstraps safer??

More than a mouthful is wasted...
D rings for me too. I don't like how the clip type won't stay adjusted (the strap length) and they are a bitch to reset.

Easily fixed by the simple expediant of putting a stitch through the strap and the remainder hanging past the adjuster once the optimum length is found

The clips on Nolan helmets are ratchet devices with about 25mm of adjustment built in to the design.As long as the tongue is engaged , the connection is secure.This is not the case with seat belt type catches.

Hi there, i had a 1 week old clip in helmet went to the Brass Monkey and did a 150mtr slide down the road with a couple of bumps, the helmet had cracked along the centre seam on the the chin and part of roof of helmet but clip never came aprt till i uncliped it. (thank Feck for that)

I like the clip type, so much more convenient if you're buzzin around town taking the lid on & off. A rubber band around the straps will stop it un-adjusting. It is important to always check that the clip is secure though, & give it a drop of lube if it gets sticky.

Cheers

Tryed clip-type for one helmet I had. It was a cheapy $300 model and on more than a few occassions I would find that mid-ride the bloody thing would come unfast and start dangling in the wind. I started out racing karts many moons ago and they also wouldnt let you race without the d-ring fasteners. I supose its a matter of choice and experience but if you ask me one type feels a dam site more secure than the other. And like they reckon.... if you've got a $10 head go and get yourself a $10 helmet!

I'd always go for Double D's, and who wouldnt? (sorry, couldn't resist! )

Call me old fashioned, but i just cant bring myself to trust a plastic clip to hold on me skid lid. Have seen them come undone and bust up on pushbike helmets before, and even at pedal speeds the results were less than pleasant.

Admittedly the D's are a little inconvenient when nipping around short distances, but i much prefer the security and piece of mind of a positive connection, and the feeling of a snug fit as i pull it tight every time the helmet goes on.
It's an inconvenience in the same way as how it takes longer to put on and remove my gear at each end of my 5 minute commute to work than the actual riding, but to me to me it's just an extension of the ATGATT philosophy (All The Gear All The Time)

Gotta ride to survive!

Never had a skid lid with the clip system, although the Mrs has. Old news that they are not acceptable for racing though, although not everyone is as old I guess...
