Thank you didn't know about tip 1 it was always a hassle

Interesting comment on leaving the D-Ring fastened! One of those seemingly obvious things that no one seems to have realized! I agree on the electrical tape part - I put two strips on the top of a faceshield for my western USA tour (east coast to west coast and back). Given how much riding we were doing into the sun, it was quite useful to just tilt my head down and block the setting sun.

I just wanted to add, that's the first thing I do and i.leave it on permanently.

After 40+ years of riding, it never occurred to me to keep the strap threaded in the buckle!! Brilliant! Been using the medical info sticker since my auto racing days. Something else I picked up then is tape shades on the visor. I use colored vinyl tape or wrap to create a shade that matches the helmet pattern. This is only for more upright head position...doesnt work for sportbike/track applications as you need to look "up".

For sun issues I tried putting some really dark tinting across the top (just above eye level on the inside) and have done it on every helmet since. I make a template out of paper first, then cut it out and spray soap/water so you can position it.

In all my years of riding I never once thought of Hack number 1, what a great idea! Thanks Man!

Can you really see the red tab?

OMG! OMG! Thank you so much for the very first tip! It never would have occurred to me that you don't have to completely undo the D ring . You just saved me so much frustration and hassle! (Bowing down)

As a guy who wears a hat or visor everyday and my whole life. An Arai XD all day everyday for road riding.

Great Video! Hack number 1 I did not know! Thank you! And I learned from all the hacks!

Been riding for 15 years but learned some stuff, Thank You!!! Always bringing it....

It's refreshing to get tips and hacks that are actually new and useful. Thanks!

Well worth the cost of this video, just for the tip about electrical tape across face shield to temporarily block sun! Thank you much!

Excellent advice on all! Did not think of the tape will be using that. I have a wrist EM info so no worries about putting that on the helmet.

Love the "home style" Everide videos! Keep up the good work Tyler.

Big jump in risk from in-helmet speakers to earbuds....I do it on occasion. I also am stupid. But responsible enough to never suggest another rider be as stupid as me. Careful handing out advice that increases risk for another. Distracted riding on the phone is another argument to be made, it is not a cool feature. Pull over and talk, or ride, not both. Your awareness is the only thing keeping you alive.

You the man eveRide. Thanks for the info

Electric tape! Love it. I run with two strips at the very top of the visor all the time. If the sun is setting I just angle the helmet down a bit, and ride on.

Lots of solid information here. Thanks.

Ahhhhhhh tip #1 just changed my life. Thank you, sir!

Another great line of tips👍😁

awesome awesome awesome tips.thank you.

I just learned something x 3. Appreciate straight to the point videos.

Fantastic tips.Outstanding I never hard of these!!!

We are now in a lockdown for some fictional reasons as it appears. all of our rights and freedom taken away in one day, however, every time I open youtube and one of your videos shows up, with that dual sports explorer machines and a beautiful scenery, it immediately lift up my spirit. Thanks a lot for all your work mate! We all need to lift up our mood and spirit, more than ever now, more than ever!

I've been using the D ring hank since I saw it from you. I've also shared it with others!

Thanks Tyler, love the helmet strap hack.

Hack #2..I can relate.. I have a funny shaped head and I have been using a Hammer to fit my helmets for 30 years.. It beats them self clearencing upon impact and, no stitch work needed either.

Very nice 😊👏👏 thanks.

Thanks for the tips! Thought about the tape on the visor. I will use it now!

Great Tips, keep up the good work

Good info, thanks!

great tips.tq

Rocking the CDS shirt....Nice!

I purchased the 2" ProTapes Pro 50 Premium Vinyl Safety Marking and Dance Floor Splicing Tape from Amazon and used it on the top of the visor. I cut it at the top to match the form of the visor. It has been on there for over 2 years and works great! I think it looks good as well.

Thanks for the tips. Stay safe brother. From Lake Taupo, New Zealand :)

I've used the electrical tape thing for years and really like it. For a couple years i used a ti t strip across the top of my visor and left it there full time. Either approach works well.

i love it, very useful. thank you and god bless.

Great vid! Chin strap hack just changed my life! Damn!

Most helmets in NZ seem to have micrometric retention systems rather than the d loops you demonstrated, they are easily opened and closed even with winter gloves. One of my colleagues used the final hack, he applied packing tape to the visor of a road helmet and left it there permanently, it didn't look good but apparently it was effective. I prefer the internal drop down visor that I have in both my helmets.

For ear buds get a set of plugphones or similar. They are actual earplugs combined with earbuds. They do an even better job of isolating sound and tend to stay in the ear better then normal earbuds. Thanks for the tip on the Drings!

Thanks for the D ring tip. I did not know that! It’s probably going to change my life!

Actually...blocks the brilliance. ;-)

Look for little reflective ICE (In Case of Emergency) tags. They are usually for workers hard hats. I run one of these on the chin of my helmet.

I wear prescription, non-transition dual viewing spectacles: My Shoei Neotech Modular helmet has an internal sun visor, just flip the lever, and viola, it's a miracle - I CAN SEE, I CAN SEE...!!!! Time to go - JUMP THE SHARK!

I haven't seen " D" rings in years!? My modern-style Freed Conn modular helmet has a built-in sun shield, Bluetooth, 3 closeable air vents with defroster vents for the inside of the face shield! The vents don't really work below 15 MPH though. So, I just crack the face shield a little. And the chin strap is a modern ratchet strip style. Kinda funny that I have to charge my helmet too now?!

I've been using the electrical tape hack for over a year, it works!!!

Great info thank you Tyler I always get Motorcycle goodness From You're Chan-chan

This is probably the best hack here! It's super easy to make QR codes online for free and you can print it out as large or small as you want. You can fit a decent amount of text in a small space without it looking dumb. Some of the QR generators even let you change the color (in case you want to match your helmet). BRILLIANT!

Great vid Tyler but your Am link for buds is not working.

All the older dual-D helmets I'd ever used had straps too short to do what you show there, and no tab for the loosening either. The main thing I've always loathed about them though is the strap flapping against my neck. With my ratcheting-clip style helmet I have the strap at the correct length for me, with the excess looped back in the thingimajig so it has no excess which whips at my neck while I'm riding.

On my helmet I took your tape idea one step further. I installed limo-black on the upper half of the visor. The top half gives me sunglasses level shielding from the sun but the clear half lets me see the road in front and the gauges clearly.

Hi, nice video! I was wondering if you have a tip in case of a wasp ending up into a fullface helmet. I have a "Scorpion" helmet and theses devil creatures flew directly into my front visor throuth the hole under my tchin. I just can't wear this helmet anymore until I find a way to secure it some how. Any idea ?

I have both the packtalk and earbuds like you but have a question.... do you have to disconnect the boom mic in your helmet for the 1/8" Jack mic to work?

I use an emergency sticker place under the peak if you helmet for dirt bikes and adventure bikes.

Hi, do you have any hacks for reducing wind noise in my helmet Thanks

Great thanks

What places do you ride down in southern Utah? I ride mostly central and northern Utah, yet after doing the Rhino Rally desert race down there, I realized I want to do more riding out that way. Any suggestions?

Strap Hack = Gold. 20 years of riding and never realised you could do that

Nice tips

Hey Tyler, if you get chance, please do visit Nepal, the ride here would be amazing!

An you do a video on the stitching removal and restricting to make the helmet more comfy?

Thanks Tyler....from South Africas Wild coast.

i have a new SHOEI GT AIR 2, large fits perfect when it’s on, light weight, and quiet, love this helmet BUT it’s causing redness and pain from the friction and folding my ears when putting it on mostly, and a little when taking it off. i’ll have to give my ears some time to heal before attempting to wast this helmet again. did you have this problem? what did you do, and what can i do ?

first tip sadly doesnt work for me. the chin strap on my arai xd4 is so short this doesnt work and i have do undo it every time... its literally 2 or 3 inches shorter than on every other helmet with the double d ring strap ive seen so far

Hey Tyler, I've got a question. I'm trying to use the links in the description to purchase some of your recommended armor. It's seems the links to your web page might not be working right. For example I'm interested in the fox Titan clone armor and the arc above knee articulating shin guards. Seems like the links just bring me to your homepage, and I'm unable to navigate to your products. Is there something wrong? Or am I doing it wrong? I'm not very computery so that's entirely possible. Thanks for all the rad content!!

Cheapest best way to communicate with other rider is the seba headset?

Not sure if it’s been mentioned, but a 2” strip of window tint works great. I normally ride shield open, so just close the visor when the sun is really low.

@Luggruff

7 ай бұрын

This seems much better, as window tint also lets you see through it. Thanks for the idea man!

I tried the first tip but keeping the chin strap fastened made it too hard to really get the cheek pads out of the way and not smash/fold my ears when putting the helmet on. Granted the cheek pads are a bit tight. Might work for a different helmet.

Hey Tyler, I cannot get the link for the earbuds to work, and you never mentioned the name. Could you possibly give us the name? Thanks... John in Vietnam

Ditch the D ring and get a Fidlock on your next helmet. They are phenomenal!!!!!

I'm everSubscribed. Love the electrical tape hack.

Lets be real, nobody is gonna ride with a huge sticker on their helmet listing all their personal details, blood type and diseases. But, as an attached note INSIDE the helmet (perhaps by chin strap), i agree would be a good idea.

Thx for the chin strap hack.

As a first responder I would like to chime in. For the medical alert sticker idea. First responders are trained to look for a bracelet, anklet, or necklace that would have that info on it. We will also take a look at the drivers license, so slipping a medical card in next to it could work. Just throwing that out. Save someone from posting their personal info on the billboard. Thank you for the videos🤙

Not wanting to hijack your channel, but would happen to have any news on Accidental Broadcast? He hasn't posted a vid in a long time. Love your and his channel!

i did the same thing with some left over window tint, so I would not have to put my hand in front of the sun, works year around, day night

Oh yeah, this video reminded me I need to find a better fitting helmet! Also, I didn't know that the D-Ring helmet strap were meant to stay looped... I've gotta try that out!

You may want to put a red cross on the medical information tag.

Needless to say D ring straps have come a long way since the last time I had to buy a helmet. (I had mine issued). Non the less, I don't have any fancy tabs or little red dome fasteners in any of my helmets.

If you haven’t switched to a quikStrap wearing your strap across your shield accomplishes the same thing from my experience. Far more effective than the peak.

From what I understand "dirt sport visors" were not invented to block the sun but block when roosted.

I know you said about the electrical tape for the sun but is there really no lenses out there that act like sun glasses? I bought a dark smoke one but the sun comes through just as bright vs a clear lense

The folddown inner visors that are usually in new style helmets seem to be darker. I use mine as a sun blocker when needed

Good tips ! Too bad the Amazon links did not go to the actual items you tried to share.

One thing I question though ..the padding between the helmet shell and your head is there to cushion your head in case of impact of the helmet with another surface. I have to suppose there is actually some design engineering that goes into it ...how thick, what durometer, where the vulnerable parts of the wearer's head (and neck!) are. They have to design it to meet certification standards. If someone goes in, willy nilly cutting away padding to create air channels, it seems they are altering the fundamental design of the helmet in a manner not foreseen by the designers. We pay a lot of money for high end helmets that meet standards such as DOT and Snell; I am not prepared to substitute my judgement for the helmet manufacture's for what is adequate padding to meet the standards. My thought was that you may see an increased chance of the helmet rotating backwards on pact, and having edge of shell strike your spine or something (as opposed to just bending it...I know). I don't know that it did anything bad...but I also don't know that cutting air channels in the padding didn't do something bad.

We need a better hack for a loose fitting helmet. The small I choose online is loose enough people would say I needed an extra small (the one I choose doesn't come in extra small and has features I'd like to keep in my price range) but the smalls I tried on at the cycle gear store with the salespersons help were way too tight. The extra smalls would be a nightmare. I figure I need no more possibly less than 1/8th of an inch of extra padding all around. They do make foam padding kits as Fit Kits for helmets but they are 1/2 of an inch thick.

That CDS Shirt ❤

People are clearly not lazy enough if they didn't figure out that thing with D buckle themselves.

These are what are known as NPC or what I call Sheeple!

Thanks I didn’t actually know a lot about that😂. Now I can ride into the sun without being blasted with light

Smart hacks. I think that the medical info one is a great idea. Thanks.

I have been putting electrical tape on my helmet for yrs. I put two strips on side by side starting at the top of the visor . makes about a 1 1/2 " wide strip of sun block. it stays on permanently

That's cool that you mentioned the electrical tape. I was going to suggest it in your other video about mx vs. adv helmets (and again in this video) but figured all the keyboard warriors would hang me high for mentioning such a thing LOL. The comments section can be brutal from guys that would never talk like that to my face.

Where did hermit go?

I’ve been resisting the emergency medical info for years. I guess it’s about time. I’ve always said before I am always still conscious. That was true till my last motocross crash. I guess I can be knockout after all. ✌🏻

Does anyone actually undo the buckle strap?? Tip one is just standard practice. I have never met anyone who takes the strap out of the buckle and I have been riding for a long time in a number of different countries.

What the crap man! Why didn’t I ever think of NOT unbuckleing my helmet? THANX MAN!!!!
