    Goggle advice

    Have the Giro G10 and my Oakley A-frames doesn't fit. I have this free space between helmet and goggles which isn't a good thing in Northern Sweden.....

    Have been looking at the Crowbar, but would rather if I could get some that didn't look like all the others....... any recommendations??

    By the way my head is "fairly" big

    Thanks

    Have you tried the A-frames with an Oakley helmet strap? It does make a difference..

    The a-frame is for a smaller head too. The Wisdom is for a bigger head and I also recomend the helemt strap accessory for the Wisdom.

    Spy Soldier fits a Giro 9.mx perfectly so it'll probably work on the 10.

    Smith Prodigys would also work well for a large head and they'll fit the Giro w/o any gaper gap.
    I think that the human mind is unique among all other forms of life in that it can spontaneously create unique thoughts and provide unique behaviors. Instead of rewarding that uniqueness we, for some reason probably because of cultural and social necessity, we chastise unique behavior and reward conformity.

    I have that combo too (prodigy/giro/large head), it works well.
    Oakley O-frames work well too, they are pretty cheap.

    Smith goggles are the only way to go with Giro helmets. Although they work even better with Smith helmets...

    edit: I can't believe Oakley hasn't started making multi-sport helmets yet. They sponsor enough different sports that all use helmets, you think they might try it. Huh.
    OOOOOOOHHHH, I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!

    My old helmet was a .9 it fitted perfect with the A-frames, being more round in the shape at the forehead. The G10 is on the other hand more straight, and therefore fits poorly with the round A-frame.

    I don't think the Wisdow fits that well either, they are round as well, haven't tried though.

    I have the helmet strap to the A-frame, it helped alot with the .9, but dosen't make any difference with the G10 fit.

    The Smith Prodigy looks really cool. Its a brand you dosn't see that much here in Skandinavia- compared to Oakley, know I just need to find a place to buy them.

    Thanks
