Me too! I had to watch this video as I didn't have a clue how to get the tension on the D ring type. It's a bit fiddly, but I guess you get a feel for it over time.
I can't lie, the double d-ring helmets pissed me off because I had no idea how they worked, but now I realize I was making a big fuss out of an issue I could've solved in under 4 minutes...
Double d-ring helmets are safer, and I don't like the buckle of a ratchet strap helmet digging into my throat. There is a way of just loosening the double d-rings and removing your helmet, you don't need to slip the strap completely out of the rings.
safer to strap it on head but can also cause big injury like decapitation it should release at a certain force. l just saw a vid on theync about it a tire came loose from a car and hit his head.
The ratchet strap on my Nolan N40-5 doesn't slip out of the ladder lock as the one here in the video did as my strap end is too large, so I just had to finagle with the ladder lock amid much aggravation, but I did finally get it adjusted.
I also had the same issue. Wore the helmet for months like that, choked the life out of me, then i managed to find the other the other end of the strap.
Everyone complains about Ratchet digging into their throats, but for me it's opposite. Even with the Strap fully tightened and the Buckle Clicked all the way in, IT'S STILL SO FAR FROM MY CHIN! It feels very...unsafe. I guess for my helmet size, they expect people with double or triple chins to wear them, so the straps are never even close to my chin or neck. The Helmet itself fits snug so I've always had to just convert to D-Rings. Really wish Manufacturers would stop with this Ratchet strap garbage...
just bought a Torq helmet for nearly 300quid and this had this shitty Double D ring, where my 90quid premier had a great quick release ratchet clasp, How the hell can you do the Double D with gloves on, terrible design!!
