Thinking of helmet and goggles makes me wonder if anyone else has found
a solution to a dilemma I have found. In these modern times of aviation
and radios, trying to get goggles to fit over the ear-cups of a headset
has proven rather difficult. If the straps go over the cups, the
goggles ride up and if the straps go over then the goggles won't sit
down and seal. I'd like to stay with old looking goggles, but may have
to resort to bigger ski-goggles.
Anyone else find a solution?
PS - I even paid a fair amount for a leather helmet with integrated
headphones from flightsuits.com but the electronics have a problem in my
application.
PPS - I hope I didn't just open myself up to all those head-shape jokes

I found by putting the goggles on first and then the helmet,it took care
of that problem.I could then put my earphones on over top of the leather
helmet.If I am using the hard helmet then I do the same thing and the
earphones are incorporated right into the helmet so it's no big deal.If
I put the goggles on after I have the hard helmet on then it won't close
around my eyes and air gets in the sides.So I always put the goggles on
first and the strap goes above my ears so I can still hear on the
radio.With the hard helmet I can't use the push to talk because for some
reason it won't work.I then have to use the talk button on the radio
which can be somewhat of a problem because I have to take one hand off
the throttle or the stick.I usually like to keep my hands on both these
things at all times.

Bill,
Even the ski goggles are no guarantee. In fact, for me, the old timey
one work better. One solution that works for my partner in the Piet
is the new style 'phones that fit in your ears. He is very satisfied
with his. If you're interested, I'll check to see which brand he went
with.
FWIW, I have a big fat head. Probably not surprising to some on the
list...! ;)

I always found that because ski goggles have air inlets at the top that
they tend to fog up especially when coming in for a landing.Bad time to
have things disappear on you!

Bill,
What I did, and works well, is to install a pair of Stickon reading lenses (from
Spruce or Sporty's) on the googles. I have another pair installed in my
old Ray Ban pilot sunglasses.
Just order the lenses in the prescription numbers you use (or as closed as
possible),
http://www.aircraftspruce.com/menus/ps/sunglasses.html
If removed carefully can be used later in other glasses.
Hope this helps.
Saludos
Gary Gower.
