Goggles under Oakley mod 1

I recently bought an oakley mod one, and It's an awesome helmet. The adjustability is great and fits my head perfectly, and it has MIPS. But, whenever I try putting my goggles under my helmet, it always slides the goggle straps down, resulting in my goggles coming loose and fogging up. Has anyone else had this problem and how did u solve it?

Edit: Feel free to move this thread to Gear not quite sure why it posted under Ski Gabber but NS tripping as usual

Guess you’ll have to put your ear covers back on and put that strap around the entire helmet like a dork

I'd rather have the foggy lenses at that point

Do you have oakley goggles? I'd assume the helmet is made to be a "seamless fit" with oakley goggles. I know Smith and Giro claim this with their helmets

I have smith goggles and just got a new smith helmet, they aren't really seamless. You would think so but not always the case.

Might get a mod 1 soon, the fall lines and ledge don’t fit too well

Tighten the straps and put the helmet on back to front. I don't have a mod 1 but Id assume this would work. Is it being pushed down in the back or on the sides?

it's being pushed down the back. If I just shove the straps in the it looks kinda goofy, not really sure how to fix this issue but it is what it is

Oakley crystal edition line miners. They have a silicone strap super comfy. Copped three pairs of these bad boys while I could

So is the strap not adjustable on this edition? looks nice tho for a seamless fit without the plastic adjustment pieces getting in the way under the helmet

nope. and it cant go over your helmet either.

i have two large and one small frame. the small squeeze my face a little bit, but theyre not uncomfortable by any means. the silicone strap is very stretchy.
