Default question for goggle users:

Does anyone know of a way to keep the goggle's elastic band from slipping down the back of the helmet? Perhaps some stick- on thingy?
Thanks for the advice!

Dante

Velcro might work.

Open face helmet? I put the goggles on first.

Smear a dab of clear silicone inside the center of the band and let it dry off of the helmet. Once it dries it grips the helmet pretty good.

Um. I've never had that issue with Motocross helmet & googles.
My first thought is the elastic has worn out.

A couple good ideas above.
Let us know what worked.
Good luck.

What goggles and what helmet? I rode for many years with jet-style helmets and goggles with no problems. A few helmets used to come with a goggles loop at the back, but it's a long time since I last saw that feature.

waaay back in the day they used to have a metal snap on both the helmet & goggles strap & you snapped them together. I've not seen that in years. If you want to go real old school you can buy the snaps and DIY but I like the other ideas better
