I wear mine comfortably tight against my chin.
Is it even worth wearing a helmet if you are going to wear the buckle loose?
just wondering.

Comfortably tight. I hate the feeling of a loose helmet.

why would you wear a loose helmet? it would defeat the whole purpose of wearing one

i swear to god this is true. this dude was caught in an avalanche a while ago and because his chin strap was loose his helmet lifted up enough and snow got in there. lifted up so much that the strap tightened around his neck and the pressure popped blood vessels in his eyes. scary.
