    POC Helmets any goggle?

    My 10 yo has a POC helmet and smith io goggles, she complains all the time that her goggles fog and I can see them fogging. Is it possible that she needs POC goggles which are designed to work with POC helmets? Or should I tell her to suck it up and if she complains any more I'm taking the cell phone.

    Your ten year old has a cell phone? Are her smiths vented? Any goggle that is made to fit a helmet should work.

    This is a valid point.

    POC's are pretty notorious for goggle compatibility issues. Just sayin'....

    the POC goggles are notorious foggers FYI

    try a small SPY? most of their goggles have enough moto genes in them that they fit helmets well...

    poc skull comp + smith prodigy = no problems for me. prodigys work w/ my giro remedy as well.

    ^wes - i think racing helmets are hit/miss. poc was the first race helmet other than the carerra fireball (which i've been using a leki version of for 6 years) to fit my melon.

    I have a poc helmet for racing, it works fine with Smith Fuse and Dragon DX.
    A friend on my team uses Crowbars and they work well also, i think any goggle with
    vents on the lens would work just fine.

    Good call on Dragon DX. Check out DXS, fits smaller faces.

    Skuff jr uses a POC skull x with Smith anthems and the goggle/helmet fit is perfect.

    kind of... If your head fits a POC, its probably not going to fit a Uvex. they are very different shapes, uvex is quite ovular while POC is pretty round. I cannot use a Uvex that reason, they just dont fit my head.

    My guess is its because most POC helmets have almost no ventilation. So the moisture is going out the one place it can - her goggles. Get her a better vented helmet, or make sure her goggles have ventilation on the front as well as the top of the frame. Helmets and goggles made for racing tend to have too little ventilation in my experience.

    I have a POC Receptor Bug and it works great with both goggles I ski with; 1 pair Smith & 1 Pair Oakley...no fogging.

    My Scott Ransoms fit my Poc Bug OK, the outriggers need to be further out. I have a set of Wisdoms that don't fit because they're too narrow. Check her strap to make sure it's tight enough, although if the helmet is too wide they may not sit on here face properly.

    I've had no problem with Prodigy's and POC. Never found venting to be worth shit in a helmet

    How come it's always the I/O that gets the fogging problems, regardless of helmet or lack of?

    Hm? Hmm? Hm.
