Default Which goggles

Hi all, i,ve just bought a Davida Jet helmet and i,m looking for a pair of goggles. I have the type that goes inside the helmet, and now looking for a pair that fit on the outside. As the helmet sits low, just above my eyebrows the options do not seem so clear ( no pun intended ). Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks Bry.

Hi Bry. I used to have scott goggles but they were a bit big. looked like I was in a goldfish bowl lol. Now have the old fighter goggles, look good but are useless and heavy. Just stick to shades and use full face if I intend any long distance stuff. Greetings from Deb'n

I've got a pair of Nannini's. Aviator style goggles. They're hinged at the lense cups so when over the helmet the cups still seal around you eyes. Style's not for everyone but I like functional, don't care so much about looks.

Lots like Panoptix's and I have a pair of Chromatics but my eyes still water sometimes with the 3/4 shoei.

If I know I'll be riding in the rain or cold weather where my eyes are sure to get watery, I'll use these from REI.

They actually work pretty damn good.

I've got a set of Guard Dogs Gogg's goggles. The Commander Model. I have four different sets of lenses, so whatever the light conditions are, I've got it covered. Got them originally at a Rally in the east, and they've been one of the best investments I've ever made. Hope this helps.
