I find it alittle less comfy, but it makes you look alot less like a gaper. The only problem I have, is sometimes my goggles slide down to far, and get in the way.

i hate rckin goggles like that. not only do the strap buckles dig into the back of your head, but the goggle strap does nothing to keep the helmet in place, so it flops around more. if anything, it makes you look like more of a gaper just trying to be cool. the only reason people do that, is on helmets like the super uncomfy and played out luitentent (sp), goggle straps really dont fit over the brim. so wearing the straps under is the better option. the only time this would actualy make sense, is if you were just tossin your helmet on to try a trick or something, and didnt want to deal with changing the strap all around.

I have a g10 mx and wisdoms, so I wear the googles underneath because the wisomds don't fit to great over the helmet. It looks pretty sweet 2

I have a bad lt with wisdoms and wear the goggles underneath and truthfully I hate it. Goggles are always sliding, and I really hate not being able to lift my googles up without having to take off my helmet. I got a pair of crowbars so I'm looking at getting a hifi or something

my helmet clip ripped off but i still wear my goggles on top cause they keep my helmet on without me having to buckle it and its more comfortable. My helmet fits really nicely as well so the goggle slider thingy would dig into my head when i bash my head. it looks goofy anyway

I've only done that once, and that was because i was using a friends helmet which didn't have a helmet strap.

i no sound like a newb but when you put goggles under your helmet, do you have a hat on so the goggles don't go in ur hair or whatever

I do it and have basically no problems with it.  The goggle straps and plastic thingy don't bother me, and I find that my A-frames fit my face better just on my head, instead of over a helmet.  I find that I feel steezier, although I don't like that when I put my goggles and helmet up to see w/o goggles, they fog sometimes...

big ass beanie and and big ass goggles over our forehead and helmet at the top of that pile. to make sure its steezalicious u must keep helmet strap unplug so the pile will fall apart if u try to move your head. its pretty funny in rails but at jumps u must grab your helmet too. hard and uncomfortable but so cool.

when i'm hiking, i like to have the strap under my helmet, cause it allows for some ventilation by holding the helmet a bit away from my head. when i's really cold though, I keep the strap on the outside, so my helmet will fit nicely and keep my head toasty.

My helmet (Bern Macon) is larger than my head is, and I lost the knitted insert too.  So I wear a beanie under is, and then the goggles over the beanie, and finally the helmet.  It fits nice and snug, and more padding when I smash my head against rails, the ground, etc. So I do it because of the fit, and I think it looks cool.

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere (think it was the Giro website) that wearing a hat/anything under your helmet reduces the impact protection and efficacy of the helmet by more than 50%...
