It never ceases to amaze me how many reviewers will bitch about DD rings in a helmet review... I get that Fidlock buckles are awesome, but it's really not that hard. Then again, I've been sat next to someone on a chairlift on multiple occasions where I noticed that they simply passed the strap through the rings and did up the snap. That's a significant failure on the rental shop, IMO.
If you want to nerd out on the history and relative strength of different buckle designs, Ryan from F9 did a nice video here: [https://youtu.be/3KUdmwmhyxM ](https://youtu.be/3KUdmwmhyxM ) (for a mtb I don't actually think that the difference in overall pull strength is a factor at all, but I did find it interesting nonetheless)
