Goggle Strap Under Helmet?

I searched on forums and couldn't find anything about this. I was wondering why the pros and now a lot of people at local mountains and stuff are wearing their goggle strap under their helmet. I mean why? If you just didn't want your goggles over your eyes you have to unbuckle the Helmet, tilt it back and then lift your goggles up. Why not just have it on top on the helmet then you can lift them up whenever you want. This is probably just a new fad, and if it is, I think it's the stupidest fad ever.

this is also a valid argument, if you are over 300 pounds you have no right to hate on someone elses style

not only does it look better. your goggle strap lasts longer from not getting all stretched out

crowbars dont have a long enough strap so they are stretched a ton if you do it your way and then they pull on your face. Its just better, try it.

personally i like it over way more and ive done both. when i have it under it pushes my helmet way up and it feels weird and like im trying to jam a ton of shit under my helmet when my gogs and beanie are both underneath. it honestly probly has to do mostly with the type of helmet, helmet size and goggles

it's not as if over the helmet is the default really.. as far as i can remember no one's offered a great reason to keep them over your helmet. under makes perfect sense-- i do what i'd do if im not wearing a helmet, goggs over headband, then toss my pro tec over it whenever. straps dont get stretched out and it's comfy. also youre mad

This. Thats exactly why I do it, I always hated having to have my helmet on in order to have my goggles on when im eating lunch on the hill or something. Also its more comfortable in my opinion, especially on the poc receptor which is the helmet i have.

doesnt it bother you the clip on the goggle to adjust strap?
is your strap inside the helmet or just  below it, on the high part of the neck?
