Smith Maze and Other Helmets with IO/X Goggles

Im going to get the Smith IO/X goggles and wanted a helmet that would be pretty compatible with these goggles. I wear my goggles under helmet like most people on this site, and wanted to know what helmets fit well with the IO/X. Also if anyone has any edits or pics of the Smith Maze and IO/X combo that would be great, as the indent on the side of the helmet seems like it would look weird. Also does the POC Receptor fit well the IO/X?

+k for serious helpful answers
TL;DR: Have IO/X Goggles what helmets fit well with these, also what does the Smith Maze look like in action.

No experience with I/OX, but I've had a smith maze and I/O goggles for a few years. I've often wished that I had the I/OX to close the gap between the goggles and helmet. They will definitely fit fine. No problems with the strap under the helmet.

I love the smith maze, it's ridiculously light and I find it looks good.

I looked through my pictures to find some of me wearing them, but all I could find is this one from the side. Hope it helps somewhat.. haha

I have both the maze and iox's. In my opinion they look better together than any other goggle/helmet combo. If you need something for reference just watch any of Sam Zahner's past year edits where he wore a helmet a lot more

thanks guys, +k for the help

got two more questions, is the indent in the sides/ ear area noticeable? or is it just more defined in product photos? and what would be a good size for a beanie goggle and thin balaclava under the helmet

That "indent" thing isn't all that noticeable I guess, but if anything it gives the helmet a little shape so it's not bulbous. idk, I think the maze is the best looking helmet out there but that's just me. And it really depends on the size of your head, I'd use their sizing chart online, and measure it with your beanie and balaclave on. I wear a large and my head really isn't all that big. depends on you

I find I/O7s to be the most comfortable I/O series goggle I've ever had or worn, its bigger than the I/O yet it's not overly big and bulky. The outriggers on the goggle also are pretty nice because they allow the frame to be angled independently from the strap so it will have a better fit with your helmet when your wearing the strap under your helmet
