The Darbi stand at Big Boys Toys had a really nice carbon fibre HJC that they are bringing in next year. (not sure if it was real CF or just coloured that way) but it looked real nice.

Gotta love that CF look

Only thing I do not like about a lot of the new helmets is they are going back to the double D ring fasteners again. Personally I prefer a good quality easy to use button catch. Just simpler for us digitally challenged.

It's interesting how people's preferences differ! When I bought my CL-12 a couple of years ago I had a choice of D-rings or Catch fastener. I picked one with a D-ring system, partially as it was what I was used to, but mostly because I found the catch system bulky and uncomfortable.

I wonder which system is more popular?

catch fasters are going the way of the ghosts, since they arn't legal in some countrys, d-rings are, so thats pretty much coming the standard strange since d-clips started it catch fastener came in, but d-ring still won

After having two helmets with catches, I initially found the D-rings a bloody nuisance, but now that I'm used to it, I find it OK.
I was under the impression that for racing only D-rings were acceptable, as they are more secure. :spudwhat:
When I first got my last AGV, the buckle design was different to the previous one, and for the first few months I had problems with it not fastening properly, and popping undone.

Part of the D-rings' usability hinges on the method used to fasten the loose strap. Mine has velcro with very small hooks (so it doesn't stick to everything) and it's very easy to secure: I just stuff the end in under the padding on the lefthand side of the helmet, where the other side of the velcro is on the other strap. My wife's Shoei Raid has a stupid metal clip that attaches to the D-ring, and it's almost impossible to use.
Can anyone who has a similar helmet or system tell me if they get easier to use as they wear in? If they don', I'm going to take the clip off and put velcro on it.
