Hi, I'm using a Shoei Hornet DS Helmet with Oakley Crossbow Goggles, which are meant to fit - and do just. Unfortunately, I have found that as they are very tight in the helmet opening the slightest vibration on the trail means they are pushed down and I end up looking at the floor. Not good.

I am happy with the helmet - preferring to have a visor for road work (getting to the trails), so would prefer not to go for a full MX style.

Whilst I know people use safety glasses etc my preference (without trying! :o ) is for goggles, for the added side protection, but I can't seem to find any ones that have thin rims. Does anyone have any ideas or perhaps a more street option might work?
Thanks,

Cycling glasses offer good side protection.
