    I'm looking for some input.

    I've been looking at buying an Arai XD3 helmet but the one question is can you use goggles with them?
    I have read lots of post of how great they are but I can not seam to find one where somebody says they work with goggles.

    If they do, does it matter on which brand of goggles?

    I wear some ski goggles with my XD3. they just barely fit in the shield opening. but i imagine that if you have some mx goggles then they would probably fit just fine. next time i go shopping for some goggles my helmets coming with me.

    I have an XD3 but have yet to try it with goggles (Smith OTG). However, I have read several threads that indicate you will not have any trouble with an MX goggle (as peanut_gallery indicated).

    I've used Oakley's and Smith on my XD...the Smith OTG ones have a smaller surface area, so they go on easier...you have to get them in "at an angle"...

    It is doable...not as easy as with a full MX helmet...

    I actually use my XD with goggles only since it's my dirt helmet. Works great :clap

    I wear these with my XD3 and it works great. I've put a lot of dirt miles on with this set up.
