Minor update.
I've been playing around with the ESS Asian Fit Profile Turbo fans with a Protec A-Alpha helmet.
With the goggles on they fit very well and are wear for a long time comfortable. They maintain a good seal and don't "stand off" from the face with the strap running on the outside of the helmet (my Bolle T800's kind of do that).
I thought the turbo fan would be blocked by the front foam of the helmet...but it isn't. The foam doesn't sit over top nor is it squished down onto the fan...there's sort of a wedge shape gap between the fan/top of goggles and the helmet. So there's still room for airflow.
The battery/fan button ended up pretty much right over the right ear...and there's no issues with using it.
With a surefire light on the side rails the elastic doesn't really sit well/evenly with the goggles up. I suppose with something else on the other side it'd be even. I can't imagine them staying put under with lots of activity. The rear strap retention clip/strap on the helmet is good though...you won't lose the goggles if they slip off the helmet.
So far so good...but I haven't given it enough of a workout to see if the fog clearing ability with this helmet has been compromised.
