Last season, the little tab on the back of my helmet broke off. This made it frustrating to ski things like bumps and hit kickers when my goggles would sometimes fall down my face. I was wondering if anybody knew good replacements whether it was DIY or online.

You could put the goggles under your helmet

Depends on what helmet you're using but I've seen people using hair ties with good results.

Super sketch but might work. Otherwise I'd buy some velcro but the kind with thicker plastic , not the fuzzy stuff.

1. Wear them under your helmet for +respect
2. Those bumps you ride are likely moguls.
3 Regardless just tighten your goggles. Most park helmets don’t have tabs. They aren’t necessary.
