Can I wear an ECE2206 helmet on track if it has a ratchet strap?

i need to get a new helmet and I’m looking at the AGV K3 helmet. I hope to do 2-4 track days again next year and I’m not sure if that kind of chin strap mechanism is allowed (vs usual doubled ring)

90% of my riding is on the street. And I wear glasses so it really works for me. The K6 great, albeit pricier, and has the d rings, but it doesn’t have a channel for eyeglasses. If I get that, I’ll have to put on contacts and it is just more inconvenient for everyday riding.

I know I can get other brands, but agv tends to feel really comfy and I generally like the way they look.

Just looked at the rules for KSR, Pro 6, Shannonville, CSBK and VRRA and none of them specify anything about the chin strap. KSR and Shannonville will even let you use a DOT helmet.

DOT, ECE, and Snell all specify that the chin strap is basically capable of decapitating you

AFAIK strap doesn't matter, used to be you typically needed a SNELL rated lid for track duty though. (depending on event/hosts)
