Im not sure which helmet to get. The mod1 Pro is cheaper but almost everyone on NS seems to love the Giro Ledge. I got an oakley line miner m and want to wear the goggle under the helmet.
Does some of yall know how compatible the goggle with the helmet is and which one you prefer. The oakley helmet is in Germany 20$ cheaper and I cant purchase at a local shop because they dont got the helmets.

I have 2 giro ledge’s. One large and one medium. The medium is very tight with nothing underneath but the large is way too big so I have to wear goggles under it. I would definitely recommend trying one on and figuring out if it will fit your head well so you know it will fit you well. But if you want to wear goggles underneath I would go a lil big. I have never owned a mod 1 so I’m not sure how they fit but I really like the giro

I just got the mod 1 pro and it seems to be very similar in size to the giro ledge. Although the mod is tighter on the sides and feels like it is deeper so if you have a super round head I’d go for the ledge.

Giro ledge fits rounder head, MOD1 fits oval head. I had a perfect fitment in Giro Ledge size L but MOD1 was tight on the sides just above my ears. Unfortunately Ledge doesn't have the BOA adjust button so if you have a rounder head, there will be about half an inch of space behind your head.
I purchased a MOD1 size L thinking it will but it didnt, then I tried size XL but that was too big, so in the end I purchased a Giro Sario (same head profile as Ledge but with BOA adjustment button).
