can anybody help me out? Needs to work with Crowbars or Feenoms.  I'm looking at getting new goggles + helmet, I know I just posted a thread on the RED Trace but my head its too small now I just found out.  So I want a new helmet, fairly simplistic looking. No visor or speakers or anything.  THanks.

agreed. I love mine with a toque and gogs under the helmet. They don't have sticky velcro inside and the goggle clip is removable. So it's designed with wearing gogs/beanie under in mind.

Giro Shiv. Hands down, BEST.

Not all people look great with the sandbox helmet. If the look fits you, it's the steeziest helmet I've ever seen.

i couldnt be any happer with my shiv, sooo great for wearing gogs and any size beanie under it, and like mentioned above you can take out the pads inside of it with absolutley no hassle and sticky velcro stuff inside of it

any helmet, besides race ones, and get a size bigger than you normally wear. if you got extra cash then go for the poc helmets they look soooo sick.

I just bought a Giro Revolver and couldn't be happier. With the medium thickness padding and earflaps it's great for wearing without a beanie, goggles on top of helmet.

When I take out the earflaps and replace the medium thickness padding with the thin padding, my goggles and beanie fit under the helmet.

So my advice is: don't buy a helmet that is too big. By using thinner padding or removing padding completely you can usually fit a beanie and goggles under the helmet.

The Giro Revolver has the interior goggle channel. You can also take pads out and put thinner ones in or whatever you want to get a good fit.
