so i bought a giro encore 2 helmet, and for some reason, the ear pieces will NOT stay in the helmet. does anyone else have this problem or a way to fix it?

this isn't really the solution you want, but you could just take them out, and rock beanie and gogs underneath. It looks stylie.

ya i agree. but i ski alot of big mountain, and im worried if i take a hard crash, the helmet will slide far back and choke me or something haha. with my luck it will get snagged on a tree while im falling on my face going 100 k down a hill and break my neck in half

snaps? nah there should be plastic things on the ear pads that slide into the helmet, right? superglue those. otherwise, man you'll be fine taking them out and rocking a beanie. i ride a lot of trees and i've never ever had a problem getting anything snagged. even when i've gone head first into trees... whatev. glue em. you'll be fine.

If I'm not mistaken, the encore earflaps just have the loop that the strap goes through = no snaps.  I have the encore 2, but have never had this problem.  All I can say is don't glue them as the glue can eat away at the foam in the helmet compromising both the warranty and your safety.
