Classic poll dude! I have never tried so voted no. Now having said that I am going to try on both helmets and try the d ring and the clip and see how fast I can do it.
Yes
No
Only when putting on
Only when taking off

Choice poll... If I put my gloves (winter) ones on first then helmet, I always have to take one glove off again to do up the D bits...
with summer gloves on, I think I accidently put gloves on first, but did helmet up with them on ok.
As McJim said... out of habit, helmet goes on first anyways
Is there any diff in terms of safety between D ring do up helmets n clip up ones?

Apparently there are no records of a D ring fastening failing in an accident....ever....but I HEARD that so it could be bullshit.Originally Posted by LilSel

You are too bloody brave for my liking. It is too bloody cold to wear fingerless gloves down here.
I feel like I'm diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

Yep, I had never tried before, with more practice I wouldn't fumble too much.
trick is knowing where the inserted tounge is within the gloves.

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.

Nope. D rings are a bastard!
Playin' around
Yes, one handed even!
How do I know this? Cause I hopped on the motorway one day only to find my strap started to whack the side of my helmet . . . 15 years of motorcycling and I had still somehow managed to put on my helmet and ride off without fastening it up.
He's back bitches!
The sensation on ones "Helmet" is almost always better without gloves..... Oh woops, Wrong Forum:
...Off to make sexual innuendo elsewhere
Seriouly though, I cant do D rings with Gloves (Summer or Winter) ON. Sometimes I wonder whether with such a lack of co-ordination I should be riding at all...

When I'm very lucky and the delivery drivers at work ring up sick, I get to abandon the hell of posh Remuera gits and escape to the world of night-time delivery riding. Wo0o0o0.
What does shit me, however, is that once I get there, if I were in a car I could just pop off seatbelt, and knock on the door. However on a bike there's the helmet thing and to get that off you need to take off your gloves.
I'm not sure what despatch riders on this forum do, but I've started streamlining the process; one gloves off, enough to undo a D-ring (and put it back on) and filch change out of my pocketses.
What do delivery riders do? Do they have some special magic glubs? Or just not bother?

No.
