the back of my head always hurts because of the plastic parts on my goggles to tighten them, anyone know how i could stop this
 
I had this problem for a while it mainly stoped when I got a new helmet but helped before if I pulled them down a little and you get used to it

cant take pics rn but basically line miners with a giro ledge and a small ski mask, i just feel like im doing something wrong lol
 
Removing the ear pads help but its honestly still not ideal with plastic in your head unless you buy a big helmet and add a hat under it.
 
You gotta buy a helmet that doesn't fit, then pull out all the stuff that makes it comfortable, then wear a beanie with your goggles between it and the helmet. Or something idk goggles under is a pain in the ass
 
put on goggles, loosely place helmet atop head, pull goggle strap up and behind the rear inside part of your helmet that is adjustable and keeps tight to your head, push helmet down and make minor adjustments to lens position as necessary

oh ima try that thx
 
I’ve got the same setup and had the same problem. First thing you can do is adjust the size of that elastic thingy in the back. There should be 3 slots under the liner, clip into the back one for extra room.

If this doesn’t fix it you could also opt for the goggle sag approach. Basically lower the back of your goggles so the adjustment tabs aren’t being pushed into your head. It can be uncomfy but for me it takes some pressure off my nose.

Final option is to remove the whole liner and stick tape over the velcro. I’ve tried it and you can fit a pretty thick beanie underneath.
 
I think you gotta ask yourself why you want your goggles under your helmet.

I’ve got the crystal edition line miners with the silicone strap. They’re not adjustable so no plastic things. They don’t go over the helmet unfortunately.

everyone has their own reason, but I like to be able to pick what hat I have under according to the weather. Warm out? Thin hat. Cold out? Thick hat. Spring/summer? Ball cap and sunnies.

when you’re hiking in bad weather conditions, it’s nice to take off the helmet and cool off with out taking off the goggles.

draw backs exist too: googles get foggy and you can’t really take em off easy

yeah apart from me having the mips ledge we have the exact same setup wtf
 
Sure someone’s said it, but remove the liner and through a toque under the goggles. Should fix it. I bought a kids toque at the dollar store for $1. Works well and best fit I’ve found
 
Beanies are great, but I've already got a huge dome. I fuck with the elastic until it's stretched out enough that I can move the adjustment tabs to a place I don't notice them.

Con: makes your goggle strap look like shit.

Pull your googles up higher on your head and wear a beanie underneath
 
I'm with asparagus. I have an absolute melon of a head so theres no chance of me fitting them bad boys under the actual helmet. I just let the strap sit right under where the helmet ends and run it over my ears. Helps keep my shitty earbuds in too.
 
I make my goggles (Line Miner L) so tight that the plastic things are where my ears are, so that they are not between my head and helmet.

You could hurt yourself!

Please understand the importance of a good fitted helmet to protect yourself from serious injuries in dangerous sports such as skiing. I would also like to recommend that young children and developing young adults wear some sort of head protection to protect their developing minds!

Am I the only one who rarely wears goggles? If it isn't snowing I wear sunglasses, or no eye wear during night/overcast.

I won't wear them unless it's precipitating hard enough that I can't just squint my way down the hill. I really hate them for park stuff. They feel like blinders when I am skiing switch

Same. Back in Michigan I only wore googles when it was really cold. Now out west I wear them everyday.
 
Try putting the goggles over the way the helmets and goggles both were designed to do?

Trust me once you try it you'll never go back its so much more comfortable
