Ok, so I was happy wearing my Smith Prodigy's with my Giro Nine.9
Then I started wearing a Giro Flint SC Full-Face, and the Prodigy's are just too big.
Wearing them means the helmet's chin-bar ends up in front of your mouth. Leading to suffocation and goggle-fogging
I like to wear the Flint low on my forehead, just above my eyebrows.
So I chopped off some foam on the top of the goggle, and around the nose, to make it fit better.
But ended the season wearing sun-glasses whenever I could.
Fwiw, I like the look of the Smith Phenom Turbo Fan:

...but at $180 that's a bit too bloody rich for mePlus it still might be too big.
So any suggestions ? Thanks.

Phenom's will fit far better, have the same great optics, and if you want a fan, you get to pay for a fan, that's just the way it is... Regular Phenoms will be priced about the same as the non-fan Prodigy's...
OOOOOOOHHHH, I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!

Second vouching for Triads. Not super nice, and I don't know what the venting is like, but the fit around my medium Pro-Tec Ace Space is really good. A LOT better than my Oakley Wisdoms (which I do NOT recommend, particularly without a goggle strap).
Btw... anyone know where to get just a goggle strap? Aspen optics/sunglass store better chance than big ski shop?Days on snow 06-07: 3

Dude, ANY turbofan will prolly be too big. I vote Triads, even last years without the helmet outrigger fits awesome with my protec fullface.

I run a Prodigy Turbo fan. Good optics and the fan does work. I think I got them throught Backcountry.com last year on some close out for about $90. I know you said the Prodigy is to big but this is more an endorsement for the fan.
Move along nothing to see here.
