Best helmet for Oakley Wisdom goggles

[gores95]

I have FINALLY decided to bite the bullet and get a helmet! After skiing in Vermont this past weekend I noticed 70-80% of ADULTS wearing a helmet. With those numbers it must make sense!

I know that trying helmets on is the most important thing and I will be doing just that. I did a search on helmets on this site and found the Boeri Steez and Giro 9 were two of the most popular. Has anyone used Oakley Wisdom goggles with either of these? Any other helmets a good fit with Oakley's?

Also how does a Balaclava fit with either of these helmets? I guess I will bring everything with me when I try on the helmets.

Thanks,

Marc

I have a Giro 9 that I use with my Wisdoms. They work fine together. I also use a balaclava, one of the turtle fur ones that is just the wicking liner on top(meant to go under a helmet) and has turtle fur for the neck. I think they call it a shellaclava. Works great.

Make sure you get the helmet strap kit for your Wisdoms from Oakley. If you don't, the plastic arms on the goggles(where the strap goes on) will hit the end of the helmet and not let the goggles sit back where they should. When I ordered them they weren't listed on O's web site. Call them and ask for the helmet strap kit for Wisdom's. I think they were like $20.
