i have a holt and my friend has a maze and they are both really nice super comfy. we both has crowbars and they fit really nice with a touque under the helmet. they are both super light and not that expensive.

smith goggles are designed to fit with smith helmets, like the air flow thing or something.  if you get a smith helmet get smith goggles too

i work for a shop too, and i picked Smith over Giro. definitely a good choice
im rocking the Smith Variant with Smith I/O's (both free actually) and they are amazing. no complaints. soooo comfy, i wouldn't wear anything else. just a solid combo

Not that expensive?

Either I live in an overpriced city or you're extremely rich. My mountain sells the Smith Maze for $120.00

For a helmet? 120.00 is pretty up there on the price scale.

But still, the Smith Maze is worth every single cent of it's price.

the maze at my ski shop is 90$ and the holt 75$ but if you get the ones with headphones in them then they are like 135$ so not to bad.

I bought a Holt, and found that it doesn't cover much of my head. Compared to the R.E.D. helmet I have, the Smith feels like it is just perched on the top of my head. Maybe it's just me.

But the Holt does look really good, and is solid

I have the Maze and I love it. It fits well with both pairs of goggles I own (crowbars and anon's). I would definitely recommend it, and it's not too expensive if you shop around online.

Maze is absolutely amaZing. I have both Holt and Maze and i would say that Maze is pretty much the best helmet ive ever tried. Super light, fits very well with my crowbars, good vent. You cannot even compare it to Holt. Really, its 200g lighter, and your head aint looking big (compared to Holt).

Just a quick question here, what are good beanies to wear under the helmet?
I've recenty had some problems there, because of too short / thick beanies...
Any suggestions?

The shop at my mountain sells the Maze for $100, I got it for $55 because I work at the mountain.  It is hands down the best helmet I've ever had.  You can't even feel it when it's on your head; I actually panicked about four times when I was walking through the lodge because I thought I lost it, only to realize that it was still on my head.  Amazingly, my EG2s fit perfectly with it.  It's worth every penny, buy it and never look back.

I have one Neff beanie and one Spacecraft beanie, they both fit great.  The Neff is huge and super-tall...the Spacecraft—sadly—is not.  I'm working on stretching it out a bit.

i use an orage one.  Its a perfect fit for me under the helmet so that it isnt too tall and my helmet can work properly at the same time..
