What is your preffered helmet strap fixing ?

I never really thought of this until someone gave me a helmet with a latch type fixing.  I've always had double-d ring before and they feel much more secure to me ..........

What about you ?

I haven't seen a double D helmet in ages. Having said that my last 3 helmets have been Nolans and all have the toothed latch, haven't thought about it for ages either.

Given that I have a large head for my body type..I have both style..the latch tooth design is faster ..but the D ring feel more secure...

I have both, both on Shoei helmets. I prefer using the DD type but the fixing points for the latch type are higher up in the lid and therefore hold it on my noggin more securely, at least that what it feels like. Thankfully ive never had to test either.

I've had the Dbl-D's for years on my Shoei & Arai lids.... they do feel more secure.

But now I've gotten used to the latch-type on my Bell....although it can sometimes be a PITA w/ my 5 thumbs on my LH....
