Having a sandbox helmet what goggles fit the best size wise ?

I got Anon comrade and i think they are bit 2 big for the helmet, or at least helmet needs to be tilted back little bit.

List the brand and model of goggles you are/have used with sandbox helmets.

It really depends on your face and head shape size too. I have a small head and face and have the XL helmet with Von Zipper Feenoms. I could have gone with the S-M helmet but when I tried the XL it seemed ok. But Yeh, I have my goggle strap under my helmet to get best face fit.
My helmet sits back a bit on my head, but thats only because its bigger. I still get full coverage at the front right over my goggle brow and in a way I actually get more pretection on the back on the lower bit of my head.

Yeh, but with a combination of using the different sized padding inserts and the beanie I wear with it, I have come to a very comfortable fit and the viser sits nicely over my goggles. My Dragon DX fit pretty good.
My new Quicksilver gogs fit good too

I use either Oakley Splices or Anon Figment goggles and do the same as K2 and have the goggle strap under the helmet - the anon’s probably have a slightly better fit with the helmet as they’re a smaller frame but the Oakley’s give far better peripheral vision just due to the design. I’ve got a certified and non certified sandbox both in L/XL and find that the non certified has a slightly better fit overall with the larger framed Oakley goggles due to it’s lower profile.

i cant put my goggle strap underneath, i find the plastic thingy that tightens/loosens the goggles digs into my head

Yeah that’s what I used with my sandbox. Works well. Maybe not the best fit of all, but pretty good.

Think about it lanox, a goggle with high peripheral vision should. The foam that touches your face will be higher but the actual lens will continue down over the nose.
Put it this way:
Can you look down and see the tip of your nose? Yes? well the wouldnt it be good to be looking through lens when you look down there instead of just seeing frame?
