Giro G10 goggles keep sliding back/off when raised over the brow. Any suggestions.

Welcome to Epic.  Take the helmet and goggles back to the shop where you got them and try other helmets and goggles to see if changing goggles or changing helmets solves the problem.  I have a Smith Variant, no brim, and have never had this problem with either my old Smith Knowledge or my current Bolle X-9 goggles.  I think I've seen gizmos for sale that hold the goggle strap in place on the sides of the helmet so the goggle can't do what yours is doing.  Might have been in Ski magazine.

Stop taking your goggles off so much.

Duct tape solves many problems, it's the Great Mystery Fixer. 

Get some velcro"Sticky Back" 1 inch squares sold at Home Depot & place on the helmet. They will stick to the fabric of most goggles. My grandkids goggles were always hanging off the back of their helmets until I  put those on. It works for me. 

Someone makes clips that attach to the helmet. I can't find them anywhere though searching.

I believe they were offered in the psia catalog at one time. 

The goggle retention issue is a pain. Poc is the worst.

Another vote for velcro.  When my helmet clip unscrewed and disappeared, I just got two "heavy duty" velcro circles, the HOOK part (not the fuzzy part) and stuck them on the back of the helmet.  For you, I'd just do it further forward along the normal line of the helmet strap so that the angle of the strap is closer to your face when you put the goggles up, say half way between the back of the helmet and the front edge.  That should make the strap snugger when you pull the goggles up and FOR SURE they won't fall off the back of the helmet.  (Slight chance of them sliding down and wacking your nose, I guess, depending on where exactly you put the velcro pieces.)

Unfortunately, I bought the helmet online,and the goggles locally.  I am going to take both to the "goggle" store today and see if they have a more "elegant" solution.  If not, I will definitely try the Velcro idea.

 

Thanks to all for the input.

 

Also, I did a search for the little add-on thingies, but wast sure what to search for.   I tried goggle retainer, holder, latex tape, etc.   Couldn't find anything.  if anyone comes up with the device(s), please post here.  Thanks again.

That looks like them! ^^ Goodness, Tognar has them? I searched all sorts of ways and came up with only hard hat clips that are totally different.

I'd use two per side - one up and one down for best hold.

Goggle retention is a pet peeve, all the helmets pretty much aren't very good. We've gone backwards. My Ovo helmet was the best. You could wipe out and still have the goggles on the front if it was up.

I really don't get it, when goggles are close to $200, why helmet makers don't take it seriously.

edit: Actually, upon further review, it's not what I was thinking about!

Those are truly stops, not retainers for the strap. The one's I've seen allow the strap to go into the clip, and they go onto the sides of the helmet. The shape is very similar though, slighty less long and bigger slice of pizza. oh well!

edit2:

Well, I've found them! (it was the "goggle stop")

Not the exact ones I was thinking about, but a similar style! $6.95. Available in translucent also.

With two per side, they would not come off!

Maybe goggle/helmet retention design is for actually wearing the goggle. Shocking.

I just got the goggle stops from PSIA.  They work well.  Falline Sports has them.

They come in different colors so you can coordinate with your helmet.

If you don't see another update.  Assume it solved my issue.  Thanks.

(On Edit:) PS. Sorry about the size of the pics. They were only 136k combined on my system. 

 

 

That's a Poc solution.

You can always just smear silicone adhesive caulk on the inside of your goggle strap and let it dry. Kind of does the same thing.

I prefer the mechanical solution.

I have to say. Though I have no use. Whoever designed those did it right.

No use?

Dude, what about controlling your goggle tan?

She gets it, no raccoon eyes for her:

I wear my goggle tan like a badge of honor. Though sometimes it's hard to get a good one going in Oregon.
