I just bought these and they are so badass but they dont fit my damn helmet, are there any helmets that they fit?

Really? I found that most helmets tend to fit well with I/Os. If you want a really good fit, I suggest you look at any smith helmets.

Which helmet do you currently have?

The I/O is pretty flat on the top so I cant think of how they wouldnt fit with a helmet... are you wearing them over or under your helmet?

over of course, its just the strap, it wont go under the clip on the helmet and it wont stretch far enough

The Capix is a unique design. Try rocking the goggs underneath the helmet. Do you wear a beanie underneath the helmet?

all of them really. I would go with the maze, its really light and fits fine with the I/O.

Consider getting a Poc receptor. I find that my I/Os actually fit better than with the maze, and i feel safer in the POC (the maze tends to break pretty easily)

Go to your local shop and try them on. They all fit different. Esp the POC. It is much narrower front to back.

I honestly like the fit with the Variant also if you like that style.

Any of them will. Variant has a more BC style while the Holt is more freestyle like, and the Holt has the audio option too with built in headphones.

I really like my maze helmet, it fits perfectly with the I/O's

Too bad my dog literally ripped my I/O's to shreds a couple weeks ago. FUCK
