They were pretty tight as I remember, but I was able to reach through from the opposite side and knock the...

Nolan

I like my Nolan N100E. This is DOT certified, not SNELL, but there is some research out there showing this as a plus. Either way it fits well and works easily for less cost than some of the others.
