Switching Helmets and Need Help

I’ve never really gotten into the park, cause I’ve always been a racer and it was a bit of a forbidden fruit. I just graduated so that chapter of my life has closed and I’m trying to really get into the park landing my first backflip just last night. I need a total gear overhaul cause all my stuff is racing related. I’m already ordered/have the Libtech Snowpants, a Burton Gortex jacket, and 5th Element Goggles I attached pictures of but I need a helmet that would maximize my drip this season and I really can’t picture what they look like on a person from the online photo or how it would be affected by goggles on or under the helmet, or a beanie underneath. So really my question is what headgear setup is a personal favorite and could you attach a picture of what it actually looks like being worn.

Just got a poc auric cut with the BC spin. Looks pretty good on me, plus I feel safer when I smash my head compared to my old brain bucket. Check what fits though. Tell them you work retail on the hill and see if they have a discount. I got 20%

Don’t worry I planned on going in regardless I just wanted the NS opinion so I could go in with some prior knowledge
 
Go try on helmets with your goggles and hat/balaclava on. IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW IT FITS. Do not forget your goggles, they are the hardest thing to get to fit your helmet correctly.

I strongly recommend looking for something with MIPS. I'm rocking a Smith Maze MIPS and it's the most comfortable/lightest helmet I've ever worn.
 
just got the smith code MIPS after having used a smith maze for the last 6+ years.

i really like the profile. it sits a little lower than the maze, which has taken a bit of an adjustment, but otherwise love it.

I skied with a girl ledge but switched to an anon rodan. Only thing with the rodan is I dont think you can remove the earpads.
