Any suggestions on snowboard helmets?

Question

I own a pair of spy soldier goggles and a K2 helmet (not sure what size). I think the helmet is big for me anyways so I'm looking for a new one. My biggest dilemma though is that I don't know what kind of helmet will fit well with my goggles. The one i have currently makes the band really stretch and the sides of the goggles are pulled out so they can fit with the helmet. Ive been looking at protec and red mainly but I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of something that will work well with those goggles. Thanks.

Answer 1

ALL current snowboarding helmets are goggle compatible. But not all goggles are helmet compatible. If your current goggles didnt work out with your old helmet, they're probably not going to work with any other helmet. Your best bet is to get new goggles. Look for the ones that say helmet compatible.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if it will work well with your goggles but I got a Giro 9 and I love it. It's very comfortable and light.

Next time you shop for a helmet, take your goggles with you. That's the only way you can be sure you have a proper fit.

Answer 3

Don't buy a giro unless you want to look like an idiot with a soup bowl on your head. Go with R.E.D., they have better looking designs and are compatible with goggles.

Answer 4

The best thing to do is bring your goggs with you to go try on helmets as mentioned above. If that isn't an option make sure the helmet your buying is "goggle compatible".

Personally I wear a R.E.D. Hi-Fi with Anon Realm goggles and it fists perfect. But that may be because they are bother owned by Burton.

Pro-tec, RED, Bern, and Giro are all good brands.

Answer 5

I've got a Pro-Tec B2 helmet (Scotty Arnold) with audio.  The helmet has been really good, fits comfortably and my Spy Soldier goggles fit just fine.
