I keep mine on as it helps me 'keep my chin up' when I'm feeling blue.....

Always went under my chin before getting my Ayrtek.
Even tried with out it, but it's an anchor point and helps a correct fit.

No because I see a lot of International players not having them and I haven't still grown out of hero worship  :D . The first one I take on the helmet , the chin strap is back again.

I prefer the feel of the strap under my chin than on it, so take it off. Plus also hinders me when calling or trying to have chat with my batting parter

I take it off, not comfortable at all no matter which brand I've used. I find helmets hot enough & the guard just seems to add to this.

I don't use my chin strap. Having a beard and a chin strap is a nightmare  :(

I leave it on, but it's loose.

Wouldn't want my lid falling off and onto the stumps.
