Best helmet quick release buckle

I have a new 509 helmet with the Fidlock strap mechanism. I absolutely love this Fidlock system. I also have a couple year old 509 Altitude helmet with the conventional "D" ring strap mechanism. I would love to add a system like the Fidlock to this helmet too. I have not located anywhere to buy a retrofit Fidlock for this helmet. I HATE the echo style add on quick releases that every helmet store sells. Has anyone found a good aftermarket helmet quick release they would recommend?

I've had good luck with the PowerMadd Speed Clip. It's the type that uses the existing straps and much easier to clip than the Echo style. It is plastic but has held up well for me.

What is fidlock?

Fidlock is a MAGNETIC quick release helmet strap. Available only on 509 helmets (not sure what models).
It is very easy to clasp, and release seemed even with gloves it would be easy. The magnet clasp is very secure. Magnet pulls the hasp into a secure hold clip. Release by pulling strap, pops magnet out of holder.
