So what do you guys think about putting goggles under your ski helmet? i see it alot more now not really sure why people do this rather then use the goggle holder on the helmet?

when my goggles are on my helmet, it squishes my face because the goggle strap isnt big enough. That's the only reason I have to put them under my helmet, and I hate it.

This. and when you crash in powder, is impossible for you to lose your goggles, which is always a bummer.

I think it looks better. Also my goggles fit better when they are under my helmet.

Excellent post! To me there's one major drawback to having the goggles under the helmet: can't take them off my face. That's the main reason why I wear mine over.

I was sitting here nodding as I read your post until I got to the last paragraph and burst out laughing!
Tons of good points!

My smith I/O's dont really fit well over my helmet so I rock under. It's also more comfortable.

I find when I wear my goggles over my helmet it pulls my helmet sort of back and down, making a gap. But that's just me. I see a lot of people who wear it under and are sporting the super stylish grand canyon forehead span.
