Default Hey HJC helmet owners

Does your helmet have a snap strap or a lace through buckle? I just got mine in the mail today and was disappointed to see the lace buckle.. Not that big of a deal, but I was just wondering if all HJC's had lace buckles?

Don't own one but what I have seen so far(from looking at them in the stores and friends owning them) is that most are lace through.

The Bieffe I used to used had a snap, so I got used to it, but im just going to staple the end of the strap so I cant pull it out of the buckle, that when when I need to take it off I just loosten the strap all the way, tuck it forward, and pull it off.

Mine is lace through. Im pretty sure you can get a device from the store that makes it a buckle though

EDIT: Found one: http://www.extragear1.com/get_item_e...met-buckle.htm

I've never used one though.

Im used to the lace through allready, if I have it so I cant unlace it (staple or rubber band tight on the end of the strap), it might be easier tightening it with gloves on, all I have to do is pull.
