Review on Enhanced Convenience with Echo Quick Release - Black, One Size by Geoff Foster

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly! - Protective gear

Works great. I've had one of these on my helmet for over 12 years. Maybe not the same brand, but the same overall design and features. I bought this helmet for my 3 year old son to make it easier for me to put on and take off. I read some reviews that it was difficult to open with gloves on. I've never had a problem with it and live in Wisconsin where it's typically -20F in the winter. I had some of the thickest gloves on and was still able to open them with ease. If you wear thin riding gloves you shouldn't have any problems, if you wear thicker gloves you shouldn't have any problems. unless your fingers are numb from the weather. Then you have a completely different problem than this quick release. I also read some reviews where people complained that the latch got stuck when trying to open it. If so, close it and pull straight out. A simple solution to a simple problem. This has only happened to me once, and it happened when I installed it on my son's helmet. This is what happened the first time I put the two halves together. I think one half was not fully inserted into the plastic resulting in misalignment between the two halves. To fix this I unlocked the 2 halves and made sure the metal parts were fully inserted into their respective plastic parts. After that I had no problems. Overall a great product. I'll probably buy another one when my daughter is old enough to drive.
