I actually love the sticky inside of the Spy straps. Keeps it solidly in place, and I never have a problem putting them up or down. I guess to each his own.
My straps never move on goggles without the sticky stuff.

Thats strange how we're direct opposites. My goggles without sticky straps would always pop off the helmet and end up dangling in the back.
The Crowbars came yesterday and they fit under the helmet much better than my Smiths. The strap seems really tight though despite being as loose as it can go. Anyone else notice this?

I wish I had read this thread more carefully. I just got a G10 and Crowbars (based on this thread) and the strap seems really tight on mine as well. Did they end up working well for you anyway Greg?
By far, the best goggle to wear with the G10 is the Oakley Crowbar. Giro has also came out with their own branded goggle to fit with the G10 known as Root. It looks alot like the Crowbar but I have not yet tried it on to see what the fit is like.
The Crowbar is a very popular goggle and the helmet has to fit perfect for them to work meaning the helmet should come down just above the eyebrow. If you have alot of forehead showing either the helmet is too small or you need to adjust it bigger.
As far as the strap goes, assuming you have it adjusted to as big as it goes and it still too tight then you need to buy an extender. I would call around as not all shops carry them.
After reading this I just went and put my helmet on(G10) along with my new Crowbars and they didn't seem to tight to me. The strap was adjusted out all the way and my helmet is a size small so that probably helps.
Mine is a medium, you'd think that the straps would fit that too.
I'm thinking I'm going to have to go with a different goggle with this helmet, too bad I really like the goggles otherwise.
What lens did you get? I got the Black irradium which seem kinda dark at night.
Try out the Giro Roots, $25 at TJ Maxx.

You're in a size medium? I didn't realize you were such a pinhead. Large here...
