Quick straps on 509's

[OverHeight]

How do you put quick straps on 509's? Can't see how to get the old strp off.

Just looking at my new 509 Sinisters here, if you use a thin, dull blade you can push the strap out the slot in the side swivels. Just start at one end and progressivly stuff the strap into the slot, gently pulling as you go. If that doesn't work, looks like if you snip the threads where the strap is sewn back on itself, you'll be able to undo the end of the strap (and not destroy it) to pull it out. Then you'd have to re-sew it back up if you wanted to use it again...

Awesome goggles!

I know the 509s require another attatchment with the Quik Strap, the 509 short strap. Dealer should have them, or they have them on the website

I have a quick strap on my 509 aviator. I didn't cut the old strap off, and the quick strap installed without any modification. Just pull the plastic pin out of the end of the strap. Its a good idea to keep the old strap as a backup if anything happens to the quick strap.

as far as I know you have to get the special quick strap attachments right from 509 which replace the entire hinged piece.
