Helmet Suggestions

So this year I'm in the market for a new helmet. I'm looking for a helmet that will fit well with Crowbars. And by "fit well" I mean a helmet that fits plush with the goggles (in other words, no gaper gap kind of thing goin on). I know, it kind of sounds stupid, but I've seen questions like this thrown around so I figured I would ask.

Also, I wore the Bern Baker helmet last year, and I really liked the fit, so if there is a helmet that fits similar I would like to know. I would jut get another Baker, but I'm not really feelin the whole brim thing going on anymore.

Thanks Newschoolers!

Everyone's face and head are different so it's hard to say from one person to the next which goggle and helmet combination will work best for them. Your best bet is to go and try some on at your local shop with your goggle, beanie etc.

similar story with me, i went for a skate helmet rather than a helmet designed by a ski company. This is to wear in the park which i guess you want aswell. TSG is what a went for and its perfect, no gaper gap etc, but i wouldnt recomment it for big mountain skiing

TSG make snow certified helmets too with a fitting similar to their skate domes.

I had a salomon brigade, and now a POC receptor bug. I love the bug, looks great, and fits well.

You've got to be careful there buddy skate certified =/= snow certified.

Really great helmets; super light, protective, and fit well with a large variety of goggles.

This, I have basically a perpetual gaper gap because of head shape. Maybe I just haven't found the right helmet, but I have friends with the same goggles and helmet who dont have a gap.
