Some of the reviews for the Giro G10 MX helmet make note that it's difficult or impossible to place your goggles on your forehead due to the visor. Is this the same for the Smith Variant Brim helmet? I often like to slip on my sunnies while riding the chair or hiking. Will I have to take my goggles and/or helmet off entirely to do this?

You can't put your goggles on your forehead with the visor...sort of a pain.Putting your goggles on your forhead above the brim lets them slide off the back. There is nothing to hold them on above the brim. I put my goggles on the front edge of the brim. I wouldn't ski like that and I don't know how that looks, lol, but my Smith goggles stay put there. The only drawback is that it stretches the band way out. I keep my goggles a little more loose to compensate.
