I'm looking for a new helmet to replace my old HJC HQ1. But a lot of what I'm looking at have quick release chin straps not double d rings like I'm used to. What's everynodies thought on them, are they just somthing on cheep helmets, what would you choose?

When I replaced my old Shoei with a new one, the model that fit the best and had the features I wanted (GT-Air2) had a quick-release. I'd always been happy with D-rings, but I must admit I do like the quick release. You adjust it once and then never have to do it again. I could never easily fasten the D-rings with gloves on both hands, but I can easily fasten the QR with gloves on. Some more conservative riders might not trust the QR mechanisms, but I trust Shoei — and it's basically the same mechanism that's been used on seat belts for 50+ years (even by racing drivers).
