hello all. i've been riding since last summer and i own a rf1000. my friend has a pinch-type quick release for his shoei. i'm thinking about these because they're so convenient. question is if they're safe in a crash? do they hold up? thanks!!

Hi Phil,
I have used these on helmets during ATV races and they worked pretty good. Flying through the woods at 50mph isn't safe and I had my share of spills and never had the quick releases cause a problem. Just make sure to get a set from a reputable company. I am fixing to add a set to my new helmet for my street bike.

No problem! Hope it helps!

I had one on a Schubearth some years back(from the factory) and it would always loosen up for some reason.

If they tend to loosen up then have someone sew threads similar to the way the factory rings are kept on the chinstrap.
