Love and hate this thread at the same time as most of time my helmet is only done up tight when going up the trail, as the wind would rip it off otherwise. Considering most of the riding I do is lower speed in and out of trees getting stuck and digging my buddies out I find it more convenient to pull it over my head and ride. However if I am climbing or in terrain I am unfamiliar with or its a cloudy day I will always do it up tight. Not saying this is right or wrong just what I tend to do over the past years. I am however working towards a full time rule with my riding group that they owe everyone a beer if someone catches them with it un done.
A lot of us ride the same, but i think the qucik release buckle is a good idea.
