How do I pick the right helmet size?

Measure around the head just above the eyebrows and match it to the size chart. A gift receipt makes an exchange easier if the fit is off.

Should the helmet and goggles be chosen together?

It helps, since the goggle frame should sit flush against the helmet brim without a gap at the forehead.
