Good Fitting Goggle/Helmet Combination Thread

Ok so, there are so many threads floating around, asking which goggles fit best with which helmets. Hopefully this ends that. Post what Helmet you have, what goggles, and if they fit well.

I have a giro G10mx and Scott motives, and it fits perfect.

A Large giro encore with motives fits perfect. Also a size for the helmet would probably be important?

oo and also, mention if you wear the goggles under the helmet or use the helmet strap. Mine still fit perfectly both ways, but i wear over the helmet most of the time

r.e.d hi-fi and crowbars fit nice, i ride under but works over also

bad leut. and smith prodigys work well. i put the goggles in between the ear flaps on the outside so its like half in and half out, works good outside though

k2 rant and wisdoms, not so great but works, rant= over rated but im not sending it back. k2 also didnt make it easy to put tune ups in, theres no clips on the straps or a place to tuck in the cord. figures since they have their own line of audio...

Ya crowbars are pretty universal when it comes to helmets it sounds. Also, dont be afraid to post what combos dont work.

due to the curvilinear shape of the A-Frame's upper edge, it seems they're not a great fit with helmets all around.
goggles with relatively flat upper edges (Crowbars, Phenoms, Soldiers are good examples) and somewhat squared-off corners/sides (where the strap ends attach) seem to in general fit the best with helmets.
as a rule of thumb, take into account both elements of the interface: the relevant goggles sections (see above) but also the nature/set up offered by the shape of the helmet around your forehead and temples.

all that being said, you can just try a combination on, or post here.
