You might have a hard time pulling that off. I have lowriders and i tried to wear them with a helmet and there was no way. I ended up using icons wearing them upside down over my beanie. BUT i did see one guy wearing lowriders where he kinda had the top of the lowriders in the spot on the helmet where you put a goggle strap. looked a little funky but it looked like it worked. I tried it with my helmet and it didn;t work for me though. hope it helps a bit...

i just tried something i didnt think of before. but if you put the headphone in the strap things and have the top part of the headphones off the back clicked all the way down it doesnt look too bad but idk how it would perform

just a thought

yeah i have tryed that with the straps on top and it works pretty good and that was on a bad lieutenant. only problem i found was it really squish my ears cause you had your helmet strap so tight

Doesnt work. Ive tried. Ive seen one guy who had them with the headstrap thing resting on his neck, and then the earpieces held up by his goggle strap. but he had his goggles on the outside of his helmet, and i would guess they wur on super tight. You could also take the earpieces off and sew them into the goggles or earstraps of the helmet-ive seen that done and it looked like it worked great.

honestly just use icons, their cheaper, they sound the same, and they look wayyyy better with helmet/beanie/goggle.

Your resort requires helmets?  Thats nuts.  I remember when helmets and skiing just didn't happen unless your were racing.  Now you walk into the bathroom of my resort and they have 4 signs in a row.  "wear a helmet", "a helmet will protect you", etc.  Then the 5th sign is "Don't have a helmet?  Buy one from us!"

Shits funny, snow is soft.  Unless your going inverted or sending 60ft tables or something, fair enough.  But your resort doesn't let anyone ride without a helmet?  Thats just silly.  90% of people at the resort don't have any need for helmets really.

well basically all you need is to be listening to music you want on the slopes so i suggest u just keep the headphones around your neck and crank up the volume you wont have any trouble with the volume cuz they go up pretty high and i think wearing them under, over, around your helmet looks pretty weird

I've been thinking about the same thing, I have a Pro-Tec B2 with the built in audio but the built in broke so I've made up a prototype so to speak.  I removed the earpieces from the Lowriders and I have tied these to my goggle strap.

It isn't the nicest looking of solutions but it works!

Any feedback and ideas are greatly appreciated!
