Im trying to find a new helmet for next season while they are all cheap online, anyone got some good suggestions?
Here are the requirements

-It has to be steezy as fuck, obv.
-Built in speakers
-Would prefer if it also had a goggle strap gap inside
-Some vents and shit

Ive been looking around online without alot of luck. Im tryin to save some money here by buying ahead of time.

I love my maze! Super light, looks sick, has great goggle compatibility, and you can buy speakers for it. I don't think any helmet comes with speakers. They come with inserts for speakers but you have to buy the speakers separately.

What Kind of goggle compatiblity does the Holt have with Oakleys? Ive never been much of a fan of Smith Goggles.

Don't get the holt!!! It's huge and bulky. What you should do is bring your goggles to your local shop and try on helmets with them. If you don't have a shop then just order online, I did and I hadn't tried mine on before. It depends on what oakleys you have if you have airbrakes or splices, those stick out a lot so you might want to get a helmet with a visor like a bern or the red mutiny.

The Maze is the best one out there, I have splices, and It fits great. looks sick, and fits great. If possible go to a ski shop and try on sizes, but im sure you'll love it.

I wish I could but I need to get new gogs this year too, havent decided if I am going with A frames or airbreaks or what. I like the Holt because of the good vents on it, the vents on the maze are not openable/closable. I really need them to be openable because I am a ski instructor.

After some research, the guy at the shop must not of known what he was talking about. All the websites say the holt has vent plugs, so I went ahead and ordered it. For anyone interested you can get the holt off amazon with the speakers for 70 dollars shipped.
