People with WISDOMS???

What helmets are you wearing, and how is the fit with the wisdoms?

Please don't tell me to search. Here is what's up. I heard that the Giro G10 was a good fit with the wisdoms (with a helmet strap). So anyway, I bought the G10 today, but no shops around had any helmet straps. So I was kinda just trying it on with my goggles when I got home, and it seems like the goggles are gonna push the helmet up too high on my head. Either that or the helmet will push them down too far on my face. Will a helmet strap make them fit better as far as those 2 things are concerned? Straps should be in soon, but I only get 7 days that I can return the helmet and be able to get a full refund, after that it is store credit...
So please help me figure this out.
Thanks

Giro 9 + wisdoms + special strap = perfect setup. I've had no problems with it.

Bad Lt. Wear the strap under it and works fine for me.

But I have a burly nose and the wisdoms kinda make me unable to breathe, so I tried some Crowbars and I love them to death.

i dont understand people with goggle strap problems. I have my strap under my helmet anyways cause it doesnt look gay that way. Just put your fucking goggles on and ski.

yeah, i have wisdoms, but i cant wear them over a helmet, and i refuse to wear them under because theyre cracked and fog up real easily. i am also in the process of finding a helmet that i can wear with the wisdoms.

I tried getting new lenses through oakley but it took more than 7 months so i cancelled the order.
