so im prettymuch buying all new gear this year...jacket, pants, skis, beacon, shovel already bought, but now im looking for a good helmet/goggle combo to cover my noggin with.
right now i have a pro-tec helmet and use either my old a-frames or my newer spy ZEDs. both of which dont fit as well on my helmet as they do right on my head.

so hears the question, what are your favorite helmet/goggle combos?

Smith! their goggles are very comfy and the helmets are very light, and since they are both made by Smith, well, it doesn't get much more compatible

I'm rocking VZ Feenom's in the Puke Fire Color with a Bern Baker Helmet, fits pretty nicely and looks nice too.

Yes, but different helmets fit differently. R.E.D helmets for example fit very wide, and Salomon helmets fit shallow. All googles are designed to fit with helmets, they wouldn't be produced otherwise.

So don't be a fucktard and buy a helmet because its made by what you perceive to be a good brand. Buy one that fits.

You can't look hyphy when you're dead.

I'm very picky about helmets since an uncomfortable one can totally ruin the skiing experience; so I'd start with a comfortable helmet first; then get goggles that fit - and most do

My bern fitted pretty nicely with my Oakley Ambush.
And My Crowbar fit REALLY good with my G10 MX.

I know giro is really Over-hyped but they are the only one who fit my head really good.

The Giro Revolver has a goggle channel--a trench inside the helmet for your goggle strap to go in. It also comes with a beanie-style liner. Pretty sick helmet.
