The gripping section (18) and clip (16) may be utilized individually, or in combination to engage and hold the strap (22). The gripping section (18) preferably includes an outer surface (24) which engages and secures the strap (22) in place when utilized alone. The outer surface (24) may be a textured surface and may include a plurality of raised nodules (26) to enhance gripping. When utilized in combination with a clip (16), the strap (22) may be sandwiched between the gripping section (18) and the clip (16). The clip (16) may, alternatively, be utilized alone to hold the strap (22) in place. When utilized alone, the clip (16) may be removably attached to the helmet (10) to secure the strap (22) between the clip (16) and the outer shell (12) of the helmet (10). Additionally, the clip (16) may include a textured inner surface (56) to enhance gripping, or may alternately include a textured outer surface (58) for securing the strap over the outer surface of the clip when the clip is in a closed position.
