Helmet compatible with VZ Fishbowls - Snowboarding Forum

linvillegorge · 02-20-2012, 10:47 PM

Just picked up some Fishbowls recently and they just don't work with my Giro G9. The G9 has a couple of seasons on it now and is pretty well beat to shit. Anyone have any suggestions?

I wish I could've gaped it. The Fishbowls are just so big that the helet just smashes them down over my nose.

The work pretty well with my Smith Variant helmet.

My 2cents is that your head makes a bigger difference than the helmet or gogs. I have a massive (XXL had to go internet) helmet, of which plenty of people claim to fit Electric EG2s under a smaller size. Because of the way my head is shaped even the smaller EG2.5s are pushed by the brim of my helm down onto my nose.

I realize its no help, but after my recent experience I'm starting to think helmet/gog+face combo is as persnickety and user-specific as boots+feet combo.
