Whatever size you get, make sure it fits with your goggles. Bug fitted my head great but didnt dig my shades. So I got a Smith Maze instead. Take beanie and goggles helmet shopping.

yeah I know im supposed to try it on but all the stores are either sold out or they dont carry poc. thing is I can get this for a couple of bucks from my friend who imports them so Im kinda on the button here. need to make a decision. there's got to be someone on here riding the bug who has an opinion.

i have a poc bug in size xl and i wear a beanie and goggles under. i only had to remove the front piece of padding and the ear pads. they run a little small. i have xl, but i'd be wearing a large in most other companies, so keep that in mind. i think they have a sizing chart online, so why not measure your head? then buy the one that's supposed to fit your head and take padding out as needed.

if you bought the wrong size, could you return it through your friend? if so, go for it and return if you have to.

imo poc helmets match best with oakley's goggles like crowbars or splices.
For sizing, medium = new era 7 3/8 but for a beanie I would say go Large
