Quick question. I got this helmet last month. Couldn't be happier. But the helmet doesn't seem to fit well with my crowbars. It seems like the liner on my forehead where it covers the gaper gap tends to push my oakleys down onto my nose. I usually don't complain about this too much, but it completely stuffs my nose. So i'm looking at a few new pairs of goggles. What does everyone use out there that seems to work with this? I was looking at both the smith i/o and the new oakley splice. Thanks for the help!

Chris, here's the easy answer: take out the liner. With the Brock version just get a thin helmet liner to cover your ears, and Crowbars will fit right up under the brim as a result. Note: this is with the strap going OUTSIDE the helmet. In the EPS version, take the liner out and wear a beanie underneath with the goggle strap inside the helmet. Trust me.

Do you rock your goggles under your helmet instead of on top of it? If they go over the top they should get pulled up, but if they're under, it'll pull them down to your nose a bit. I rock Dragon Rogues and Oakley A frames. The A frames fit the best but they both get pulled down a bit due to having them go under the helmet.

I use an old pair of anon halcyon's with mine. They fit well and don't slide. Maybe go into your local shop with your helmet and try some different goggs on to see what you like best. I just got a pair of electric EG1s and they fit good with the helmet too.
