I'm lookin for a helmet that can be worn with the oakley wisdoms, no helmet seems to work because the wisdoms seem to have the worst fit on helmets. Any suggestions?

Works like shit, it's why they make the Crowbar. Get the crowbar, don't be a bitch.

Get the Pro Tec helmet that sammy carlson wears...Ive had it for a year with my wisdoms and it is perfect....i CANT REMEMBER the name of the helmet but just go to google and type in.."Pro Tec Tara dakides pro model" and the one I have will pop up...its such a sick helmet Ive had so many and its the best one ive ever had.

haha, the nine.9 mx DOES NOT fit with wisdoms. You clearly don't have the helmet on correctly if that is the case. ACtually, maybe it fits, but you must have a huge head and face to accomplish that

wisdoms + helemt = poop on a stick. Don't do it man, I beg of you. I switched back to A-frames, and not only are A-frames way more comfy, they work with my helmet Oh, and they are cheaper as well...hmmm.

He's correct. I have personally tried it on the nine and the nineMX and it dosent fit.

If you're hellbent on getting wisdoms, and dont wanna buy a new helmet, but the strap for 15 bucks, it helps but still, there are much better fits.

As for if you don't mind getting a new helmet too, the Bad Lt. works. I skied Bad Lt.+ Widsoms for the second half of the season and it worked sick. Remember tho, strap under the helmet, not over it.

Then if you try to do it, you'll for sure need the helmet strap.

yea i won some wisdoms and im not sure if im gonna use them, because the helmet compatability isnt the best. if you wear the goggles under your helmet they seem to fit ok.

Why don't wisdoms fit with a helmet? Why don't you just wear them under?

what you can do if your wisdoms arent fitting that well is pull the pins out a little. This should work so your goggle isnt all crooked...or you can just get the crowbars...they're sick
