Description

Our patent-pending design is a refreshing alternative to helmet quick-release buckles of the past. The Helmet Clip design makes for easy installation and requires no tools. The results of our independent tensile testing reports, that the Helmet Clip exceeded the requirements for helmet chinstrap retention by 92% and scored 70% higher than the rest of the helmet quick releases tested. After 597 Pounds of force, the manufacturer's D-rings began to warp and the yellow area indicates a period where the Helmet Clip was still holding after the D-rings started to bend. Notice how the main buckle on the Helmet Clip remained undamaged. The product that claimed to be the strongest, had the worst test results. All metals are not equal. Diecast Metal or Pot Metals are typically used for toys and costume jewery, not safety equipment. 2 out of the 3 test results were below industry standards for motorcycle helmet retention systems. 100% of test samples using Slider Buckles abruptly broke because of the Slider Buckle. In this example and the last, you can see an abrupt decline in the product's performance, once the max load has been reached. Products that use Slider Buckles have proven unreliable for helmet retention systems. Nobody wants to be uncomfortable while on a motorcycle ride. Especially a long ride. Try to avoid D-ring conversion kits that sit on top of your helmet's D-rings. Having the D-Rings dig into your jaw for a couple minutes might be ok. But, this would probably uncomfortable for an extended ride. 100% of the products tested that used Slider Buckles broke becuse of the slider. Once the Slider breaks, the entire strap comes off and so can your helmet. What might seem to be a solid product is only as strong as it's weakest link. Prior to submitting samples for industry testing, the products needed to pass our preliminary drop test of 15 pounds from an 8ft height, Not a single plastic product passed the preliminary test and were not submitted for industry testing. Some plastic products we could pull apart just by tugging on them. We would not recommend using a plastic quick connect on your motorcycle helmet. In an unexpected collision, the force of impact can exceed 500 pounds of force on a motorcycle helmet There are some products using a tiny screw to secure it to the helmet. Is that that what you want to rely on in a critical moment? This is the wrong way! Do not install your Helmet Clip like this. Misleading advertising from others claims that this way of attaching to the D-rings is unsafe. We agree. The Helmet Clip is designed to weave in and out of your D-rings as you see in the next photo. Attach your Helmet Clip by weaving the strap in and out of your helmet's D-rings, and then securing the snap. Our test results prove that The Helmet Clip withstood nearly twice the force of the nearest competitor. The screw that some of the other helmet buckles use is very tiny. When our samples arrived for testing, we took this photo next to a penny to demonstrate how small of a screw was being used to secure the buckle to your helmet. Wrong Way! Right Way! Smaller than I thought! Gloves are not an issue when it comes to operating the Helmet Clip buckle. We paid close attention to rider needs when designing this helmet quick release. The Helmet Clip is designed to allow you to feed your helmet chinstrap through the slots without having to cut the snap off the end of your chinstrap. Should you decide to remove or transfer your Helmet Clip to another helmet, you can do so without altering your helmet! Scan the QR Code with your cell phone or visit the website on the back of the packaging for detailed video instructions on how to properly install the Helmet Clip on your helmet. Only the highest quality materials are used in construction of the Helmet Clip stainless steel buckle. The stainless steel is ratcheted for a solid metal to metal connection. The two parts click together like a perfect marriage. Only until the red tab is pulled will they part. Each Helmet Clip is inspected for the best quality product we can supply to our costomers.

  • Great product!
Absolutely love this buckle kit. I despise the buckle my helmet came with, and when I saw this product come up on my recommendations I was a little skeptical. It arrived today and I got it installed in all of 2 minutes. Works flawlessly, feels tight and secure. I will be buying more of these if my future helmets have the same annoying buckle as this one, great job! ... show more

  • Kept helmet on in 40mph crash!
I bought these quick release straps to put onto an O’Neil helmet. They both worked great. Got into an accident where a guy pulled out in front of me while I was doing 40mph. I flew fifty feet over the hood. My helmet stayed on perfectly. It broke but the straps were intact as was my brain. Great straps. Easy to use and install and they stay on, until you want to remove them. Highly recommend. ... show more

  • Almost perfect
Purchased to replace a faulty end of strap snap on a Bell moto helmet. Instruction video on install is easy enough to follow and the strap fit perfectly into the buckle system. They do suggest removing any snaps or hardware that make it hard to feed the end through the buckle system. Worked out in my favor as that part had already fallen off and was the reason for my purchase. Product seems sturdy enough. The buckle itself has never wavered or had issues. I use this helmet daily so it does get regular genuine wear and is open and closed at least 6 times a day, 5 days a week. If you are familiar with any or the clasp style moto helmet straps it’s the standard red pull tab to open it and the ratcheting closure to lock the two buckle ends in place. My helmet does have a pretty large D ring set because Bell uses magnetic closures for the strap ends. Even so, this buckle is still comfortable and not bulky under the chin. However the slide buckle that comes with it needs improvement. I legitimately have to retighten the helmet strap AT LEAST once per day. It just slowly slips out of position and creeps away. Sometimes it’s only a half inch looser, but there has been times where it’s 2 or more inches looser than the start of my day. The slide buckle needs some teeth or something grippy put on it to really earn this product 5 full stars in my opinion. If this one problem was addressed I’d convert all of my d ring style helmets over to this product. ... show more

  • Just perfect and as described
Fits well, seems to be more sturdy than the buckle on my LS2 Assault (may it rest in peace on the wall). It’s about 1 and a 1/4” wide, you have to pull the strap back quite a bit to get a nice snug fit, but you do not have to remove the snap to get it on. At least not on my new scorpion exo r430, the strap went right through easily… Materials appear to be as advertised, definitely steel used on the clip, feels rather comfortable since my pads are wide and pretty thick. Very likely compatible with any helmet, really easy to install and solid grip from the latch, the rubber guard is definitely keeping some friction on the strap, but I tucked mine into the padding fully and it’s not coming off for sure. I’ve hated double d ring systems since forever and this made my first day back on my bike tomorrow so much more pleasant to look forward to. ... show more

  • Awesome device
Awesome! Helmets are optional in MI but I prefer to protect my melon. I have a nice Bell helmet but it has the old style D rings. D rings work but they are a pain in the ass. This was simple to install and works perfectly. NOTE: make very sure to understand the instructions BEFORE you cut the factory strap. I had to cut the long end before installation to remove the strap then again after it was installed. The long side was still very long after installation and now it had no strap to secure it. It’s perfect now but do yourself a favor and just make sure you have everything right before you cut it. ... show more

  • Won't stay tight
Quality item, well built, easy enough to install. That being said, my issue with it is it doesn't stay tight. I adjust it before putting the helmet on, and after riding for a while it goes from snug fit to lose enough I can fit more than a fingers width between the strap and my chin. I followed the instructions and watched a couple videos on YouTube on how to put it on just to make sure that I didn't do something wrong. I love the concept, the locking and release mechanism works great, just worry about the safety of it if it won't stay snug. . ... show more

  • Youtube is your friend for this
It works as expected. I am a casual rider and the quick release is much more easier to use. It ships in a small plastic bag without any information or directions. I recommend searching for "The Helmet Shop quick release" on youtube. This video makes it simple to install. Also for my Arai helmet i did not have to remove the snap button. ... show more
