When I purchased my last FF helmet, I decided to try a quick-release clip, mostly because I was tired of fumbling around with D-rings while wearing gloves.
I bought the PowerMadd speed-clips and was very impressed at how quickly and easily they attached, AND how well they work. Since I have more than one helmet, I decided to purchase speed-clips for all of them. These Raider brand clips are exactly the same as PowerMadd, right down to the injection mold marks, and cost less!
Installation is easy, connect either the square or round clip through the webbing that holds the D-rings, or capture behind the D-rings (if they are sewn to the strap). Clip the square or round clip into the receiver and that side is done! The other side is simply a matter of threading the strap through the "grip-clips".
Most people complain that these cannot be used if you have the little "snap" on your strap (which keeps the excess strap from flapping in the wind)... THIS IS NOT TRUE, but you DO have to cut your strap to REMOVE the snap from the end... you won't need it anymore anyway, so go ahead and cut it off... use good sharp scissors, make a round or angle cut, and burn the edges with a lighter to melt the nylon and keep it from fraying.
UPDATE:
I've been using these Quick Release Clips on my helmets now for over a year, without one issue to report. I've recently added helmets (different styles and sizes) to replace/upgrade for myself and other family members, and just ordered several more of these Quick Release Clips... you can't beat the comfort and ability to quickly secure your chin-strap (and release it with one finger). I seriously don't know why these are not standard on every helmet sold! These are a MUST-HAVE if you are constantly having to take your helmet on and off (short commutes, errand-runs, etc.)!
