I woukd test the model in store first then order online. Helmets fits very tricky.

I tried a Bern Watts helmet at BR for $130 plus 20% off but bought it online instead for $70. Huge savings and more colours.

It's mainly if you're asian or have a small face, since most goggles out there are made for high nose bridges and if you're not careful there will be a massive air gap between your nose and the goggles foam that won't seal properly. I know this from experience since I impulse-bought Smith IO goggles, and while they look cool, I can fit my index finger between my nose and the foam, which means the goggles are essentially useless.

Same goes with helmets. Bring your goggles with you to fit it in the store so you don't hit the slopes with a VERY UNSIGHTLY gaper gap.
