I love the quick straps, hate the over the helmet straps. Use some denatured alcohol to clean your helmet before you stick the pads on.

Ditto to everyone above.

I talked with Tom at 509 & they are coming with quickstraps that will use magnets insted of velcro.
Sounds like a neat idea & am planning on trying them!

Just make sure that you always have the original strap with you in case one of the pads comes off. I've had the same googles/quick straps for six years. I did finally have to install tiny screws on the velcro side to keep it for falling off.

Well I guess I'm the minority here, I used to use them all the time but have now gone back to the regular straps. Just a personal choice.

On another note I've got like 4 sets of quickstraps (all in black) that I'd be willing to trade straight up for Black, white, or Grey Regular straps, I lost all the ones I had on goggles that I had swapped to the Quick straps.

PM me if your interested.

I'm with you...I used them and liked them until I had a few epic days where the velcro just wouldn't stay stuck and it really messed with my riding. Ripped em off and won't ever worry about them again!

Trike, I must say that you must of screwed up on the install, on 2 of my old helement's,2 my buddys don't see a reason to upgrade helements, I have given them my old ones and 7 or 8 years never had a problem with the adhesive coming off. Plus It gives me a reason to be one up on em. Lmao

I tried them twice and they let me down both times. The peg side came un stuck from the helmet and ruined the day on two rides. Once that happens there useless. I always wear thin gloves and have no problems with the traditional strap.
