Well, since possibly the best goggles im ever likely to own, kahki wisdoms with mirror lens, dont fit my helmet, im gunna give em back to the shop and get another pair. im looking at the smiths, but was wondering what other dank goggles there are, and lens, which will fit a giro9?

Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.' I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, it meant your ass. I never really questioned what it meant. I thought it was just a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before you popped a cap in his ass.

Does it not fit because the strap is too small or because of the shape... because you can order in a strap for helmets.
Oh and Uvex Apache goggles rock

Wisdoms have a problem fitting with helmets, a few others on NS have had the same problem. I hear A Frames fit well with Giro helmets. I use Spy Blizzards, and they fit well with my Nine.9 MX, and my friend has the same with Anon Figments, and I've seen people using Spy Soldiers with Nine's before. Choose one of those and your set.

A frames without a doubt wisdoms have the plastic peice attaching the strap to the goggle which cant bend around a helmet plus wisdoms are made for smaller people get the a frames they are bigger work with helmets and are the nicest goggles on the markey along with the smith prodigy.

Spy's top of the line are ridiculously nice, and have good periph. I forget what they're called, though. Personally, I hardly spend anything on goggles... that way I can get a new pair every couple months. But that's just me.

get some with a high quality rose lense. Then you'll really be able to see more detail in the snow.

i won a pair of a frames last year and i love them. to be honest though, i didnt really notice a big difference between them and my old shitty scotts that i got for 30 bucks. maybe its just me, but i dont see how spending 150 bucks for goggles like figments is worth it when u can get goggles just as good for less than half that
and the a frames and scotts both fit fine on my giro 9 helmet
