Would it be possible to put a seatbelt tensioner type on a helmet strap?
It would slide open easily under light pressure but lock tight when tugged.

The advantages that I can see are;
- easy to put helmet on with gloves on
- no dangly straps when helmet is off
- no frayed straps from rubbing against D-rings
- comfortable fit every time

The disadvantages;
- expensive to manufacture
- might add bulk/weight
- consumer distrust

Have I just become a millionaire or will I still have to wait for my share options to vest?

Chi the retractor bit you are on about would add more bulk to the inside of the lid mate.
i would have thought this would have been tried by now?

[chicken]

but if a small enough one could be made, would you want one?

[AK]

errrr

no

sorry is that the wrong answer?

I'd prefer a small enough airbag

I can see the idea, but I wouldn't trust one.

I'd rather have my helmet too tight (although it's always just right ) than falling off in a accident.

Oh, and you're nuts!

Chi - you're not nuts...you just have an interesting view of reality

Didnt someone once make a lid that had NO strap at all??? - I seem to remember one specialy constructed so that it wrapped under one's jaw
