Hey,

I was out riding the otherday however my goggles seem to be going really really high up, almost so much that my eyes are near the edge of the bottom of the goggles. I'm usure if it's because maybe if it's because they're too tight? Or too loose? They're as loose sa they'll go but it's still very tight on the face.

Any advice/tips are greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Try different goggles. Soften your suspension. Add 2 little pieces of weather striping to top goggles so it doesn't let them touch the upper helmet rim.

The goggle strap is supposed to be worn on the inside of the helmet. Cinch those goggles down tight.

Fix your strap! When worn properly like this, they won't go up.

You might not have them low enough. Try the strap down around your neck bro. Works everytime

Could it be that the Goggle straps are too tight?

Only one way to get this figured out. Post a pic of you in your helmet and specs

it's impossible to give you tips without knowing the helmet and goggle brand.

Agree, picture of how you wear your helmet and goggles would be extremely helpful. What's funny about your problem is when I'm riding like the bottom of the goggles closer to bottom of my eyes as I tend to look up or ahead while riding and my head is in more down position.

I bet if you pull the strap down, right at the eyeport of your helmet, the problem will go away.

Thank you, I'll certainly try this, currently I'm away so cannot get a picture, neither try this however it seems like a conceivable problem.

Thanks!

Thanks.
I actually had the same problem with what I think was those goggles but in kids size, or I just had them cuz they were small and I was only a kid, don't really remember.. Tongue Which is funny because the reason my dad always got med smaller goggles was because with normal size goggles and roll offs my eyes was under the "roll off roll", but these were even worse for some reason..

Sounds like your helmet is too loose. Your helmet should keep your goggles in place and your helmet shouldn't be moving around on you.

Thanks, even when i pull my helmet down full onto my head, it's still quite high up, could this be due to a too smaller helmet?

Does your head hurt when u put it on? Or if u shake your head with it on does it bang your temples?

Seriously though. Measure your head. Take an empty 12 pack box, cut off one side leaving the handle. Then slip it over your head with the handle part protecting your nose, like a nose guard. Wear this into your local shop that carrys helmets and ask to be fitted.

The helmet should fit snug all around but not tight to where after 10min you can't wait to pull it off. Grab the mouth guard and move the helmet, your scalp should move with the helmet and take a little more force to move beyond the natural elasticity of the skin.

Sounds like your helmet is the real issue.

I wear kids goggles. Seriously. Oakley OS. Normal goggles won't fit in any helmet with my girly face.

Go to your local dealership or track and ask for help with your helmet. If it's the wrong size, you need to get the right size and asap. Nobody can tell you for sure if it's the right size over the Internet
