Hey all, looking into getting a pair of these but I don't...

Hey all, looking into getting a pair of these but I don't know what kinds of helmets others are comfortably rocking with them. Any tips on what they fit? I had a friend go out and get a combo only to find them not fit together and am trying to avoid that one. Thanks!

I mentioned this in my review above, but I'll post it again here just in case: I wear a Bern Baker 'hard hat' helmet in size L, and it's a tight fit where the top corners of the goggles meet the helmet, but they fit. The 'hard hat' versions of the Baker fit a lot lower than the regular EPS foam ones. I tried on both versions at a ski shop, and although I wear a size L in the hard hat, I'd need a XXL in the EPS version. The EPS fits smaller and sit a little bit higher because of the thicker foam. I would speculate that an EPS helmet in any size will fit, but a hard hat version in a size smaller than a large may not work. They smooshed my nose when I first put the on, but I moved the strap from running near the top of my helmet to down near the bottom. That redistributed the pressure, and they fit much better now. All that being said, if you're wearing a size small (or even medium) helmet, then you probably don't have a need for such big googles. Unless, of course, you somehow manage to have a small head and a huge face.

They go ridiculous good with the R.E.D. hi-fi. But they do sit a little lower on your face than without the helmet. Not uncomfortable though, for me anyway.

I can give you a suggestion. Bern helmets are cut higher along the forehead to accomodate pretty much any goggle style and brand. I would check those out.
