Good Fitting Goggle/Helmet Combination Thread

Ok so, there are so many threads floating around, asking which goggles fit best with which helmets. Hopefully this ends that. Post what Helmet you have, what goggles, and if they fit well.

I have a giro G10mx and Scott motives, and it fits perfect.

Why not get a new helmet? And keep the gogs?

Good question. I'm actually gonna get both. Gogs don't fit my exact face so much, and I kinda wrecked the lens, so gogs are getting replaced anyways.
As for the helmet, that can wait half a year or so.

And someone also said A-frames don't fit with many helmets due to their shape, and strap configuration.

I have a Giro bad lieutenant and anon figments. I just wear the strap under the helmet, because it looks better and doesn't stretch the strap too much. It fits fine. Before taht I ahd scott goggles from sportchek and I wore them over the BL and they fit good as well. I've never had a problem with a gaper gap or anything.

Its actually pretty durable. Its the screws you gotta watch out for, they seem to get stripped fairly easily. I dont really mind the visor tho. I think both the g10 and g10 mx are dope

I used to absolutely detest visors on helmets, but evr since seeing the G10 MX in white camo, my opinion is somewhat changed. plus I've never seen the visor durability to be a problem with anyone. I think the visor would probably help with glare and stuff. I can't afford any new equip. anyway,and helmets would probly be the last thing on my list if I could, so no G10 MX for me.

the G10MX is design so u can fuck around in he park with it but still gives ur eyes a little more protect from the sun in the b/c

at least thats what the giro website says

So i decided to do a little organizing 'round here and here is wuts up.

I've organized the types of goggles with 2 or more positive comments and mentioned the types of helmets that they go with. Not all types of goggles/helmets are shown but these were the most popular ones that i found. if anyones else wants to add to it go ahead.

The number to the right of the helmet (#) name indicates how many times it received a positive comment.

A-FRAMES      PHEMOMS     FIGMENTS         CROWBARS       SOLDIERS          FUSE            PRODIGIES
Encore 1/2 (3) Smith Holt        Bad Lt. (2)            Encore (4)          Giro 10/10MX     Smith Holt     Bad Lt.
G10MX (2)       Encore            Giro 9/9MX (2)      Bad Lt.                r.e.d. Trace       G10MX        Boeri Tactic
                        Bern Macon     r.e.d. trace           Giro 9/9MX (2)    Bern Baker        Bern Macon
                        r.e.d. HIFI         r.e.d. HIFI  (2)       Bern Baker (2)    Encore
                        Bern Baker      K2 Rant                G10/10MX (4)
                                                 BL (<--anyone?)  r.e.d. HIFI
                                                                              Bern Baker
                                                                              K2 Clutch

any corrections or additions would be great

Giro G10 (not MX) + A-frames = a bit of a gap, not the best but it works. I think I'll try it this year with the goggles under the helmet.

I know this is an old thread but i figured i might aswell use this instead of making a new one. Does anyone know how the giro combyn works with the smith i/o7 goggles or maybe someone has tried it with the i/ox's(i guess the curve of the top edge would be about the same on the two goggles).

It would probably fit fine, but I would just get a smith helmet. I picked up the smith maze and the io7s and there is basically no gap.
