A goggle mounting system for retaining a pair of goggles to the lower edge of a helmet or the like. The goggle retention system comprises a plurality of clips, each clip having a base mounted to a helmet, and a removable eyelet shaped to receive and retain the goggles. Each base has an oblong slot extending therethrough and is shaped to receive and retain an associated eyelet. Each base further includes a pair of transverse locking notches and a helical camming surface extending between the slot and the notches. Each eyelet includes a generally circular ring to retain the goggle strap, and a pair of spaced, parallel legs extending from the ring. Each eyelet further includes a pair of opposed, spaced feet at the ends of the legs. The feet are shaped to pass through the slot when the feet are oriented lengthwise of the slot. An eyelet is attached to an associated base by passing the feet of the eyelet through the slot of the base and rotating the eyelet so that the narrowing width of the slot urges the legs closer together causing the legs to exert a reactive force against the inside walls of the slot, thereby securing the eyelet to the base, and securing the strap in the eyelet. The system of the present invention allows the goggles to be easily attached or released by simple hand manipulation.
