I always ask customers that are trying on a helmet what brand and model of goggle they wear. And have them try the helmet on with them if we have some of the same brand/model  in stock. And suggest that they bring their own with them either way.   

 

100% are so popular, but I've found that Scott Prospects fit my face better. They are tight in the SM8/SM10 shell.  So something that could for sure turn a well fitting helmet into a problem if the brand and model goggle that You like was not a good fit with the helmet. The Prospects are tight when using a nose peice on them. But not a problem for me.

 I am looking forward to trying out some of the Supertech model Alpinestars goggles  . The little info I have been able to find on them , sounds like they really should fit amazing. As well as being designed to work with the helmet I wear.  The frame itself is a soft plastic/foam and the outriggers are the more conventional plastic material.  So it looks like it should be a super flexible frame. It has an injection molded lens so that will add some stiffness back into them.  They look unlike any other goggles I am familiar with. So I am excited to try them. When I say unlike any other goggle, I mean they are not a rebranded goggle like earlier Alpinestars goggles have been.    No idea when they will be available , they disappeared from the distributor site shortly after I posted some images and info about them on my business Facebook page.

The embargo on the Astars goggles is 8/23. Your rep should have at least some of the samples now and the rest should be on the way.  I got the last of them yesterday.

I think I hv that 1 , I bought aprox 2010.  This Maxon ram air helmet from 1990.  After a wild house party then A Triumph concert back to house parties. I split at 5am borrowed a jacket from someone. And took off I was running stop signs going 90 mph in town . Haha I decided to get on the brakes for the next 1. I hit a manhole that was built up 14 inches into a mound. And went flying 4 house lengths then hit the st my cb360 went flying past me with sparks flying. My safety glasses flew off & landed on a friends porch across the st. I layed in the st a couple min ko d. Then I hear people yelling . I jumped up & saw a granny & grandpa they where asking you alright. I jumped up and down and said yeah. My cloths where shredded. I took off running for my bike that laid in a intersection. Kicked started it a few times then took off. I made it home & crashed out. My mom screemed the next morning. I crashed in my cloths my body was bleeding from rd rash. 150 of us dropped acid at the party b4 the killer lazer show that triumph had.  I took a 1/2 a hit becuz it was double power. Haha I  got stuck with Jill for a while at the concert had her top off French kissing. B4 the concert she’s peeing behind a bush that everyone could see her. She was wasted drunk saying ah Tony help me, etc. wanting me to babysit her , she freaking me out. Opening band mtn I couldn’t stop laughing a massive echo in the arena. I couldn’t or no body could understand what he was saying. Even drunk Jill perfect body by the way. After concert more crazy all star wrestling a friend had a seizure in the yard. Mono knew what to do and we do want the cops showing up . So we left him ther. Everyone was laughing at him, oh got loaded here, got a roll

Imagine spending $800 on a helmet and you take a dinger and compress the liner to the point that it shouldn't be used again.  Any other helmet than the 6d, you have to keep it hanging on the wall rather than wear it again.  Seems like a no-brainer to me.
