So I am wondering if crowbars work well with the the stap under the helmet. Is it better over?
And I have kind of a small head. I'm a size medium helmet.

Go to your local shop and try the crowbars on wth your helmet. See what fits best.

yea what helmet i rock crowbars over a g10 mx and its fits perfect.  and im getting a smith varient brim for xmas and it fits perfect too.  i have the stretch strap so i sort of like the strap over but you can wear it either way.

Doesn't putting the crowbar under the helmet kinda defeat part of the crowbar design?

Putting them under defeats the purpose of the goggle. If your helmet is small or medium, you may not need a stretch strap, but you'd better get one for a larger helmet size if you want to experience the full tits.

i still dont understand how it defeats the purpose of the goggle. the outriggers are support to balance the weight on your face, i dont think the design is designed specifically to be worn over helmets

man i hardly ever read a thread that uve posted in that doesnt involve u creating an arguement. he explained to u how he thinks it defeats the purpose and its a good reason. why dont u give him credit and then explain ur side instead of basically insulting people.

so then by your logic, crowbars are only being used properly when they are worn over a helmet.. so everyone who wears them without a helmet isn't using the goggle properly?

Yeah, but I really prefer to wear them under. Should I get some other gogs or do you think the crowbars will do just fine?

Dude...just do what you find is most comfortable and looks the best. I mean seriously, it's not that hard. I rock mine under because I've gotten used to it and it's more comfortable for me.

the outriggers are just extra features on the goggle that would help, there's nothing wrong with wearing them w/ a beanie (and under a helmet). oakley didn't design them so they don't work w/o being over a helmet, that would be stupid. if it feels comfy to you, it's fine.
