Goggles that fit well under a helmet
|
|
What are your favorite mountaineering goggles that fit well with a climbing helmet? |
|

I think this question is going to depend solely on what helmet you have and what your head shape is. I have both mammut and BD helmets. Both have a different brow shape and fit different goggles and sunglasses alike. I dont recall which goggle fits which helnet best but i always try on whichever ones im going to use before heading out. I also have a large selection of goggles to choose from. |

Agreed Tony. What are some of the goggles you have that have enough clearance for you, depending on the helmet? |
|

Im kind of partial to my Zeals. Their lenses rock. I mostly grab either my Fargo or voyagers, the fargos are flat on the top while the voyagers have more of a crown like the slates do. |

I got the Mammut Alpine Rider for backcountry skiing. |

Just make sure you have a big gap between your helmet and goggles and then you won't have the issue :D |

Porter, yep, that's the point of my post :P I've always had difficulty finding goggles that leave a gap... |

I like Julbo. Aerospace is too big to fit well under a helmet, but Elara fits quite well. Smaller lenses, compact and lightweight. The lenses don't open like Aerospace, but who uses that feature anyway... |

you HAVE to try them on with your helmet AND your balaclava I've been down this road a thousand times.. the bane of internet shopping.. |

I have a Salomon Mtn Lab helmet and it does have headlamp attachments. |
