Reasonably good looking goggles?
Hi,
I'm looking around for a pair of goggles which I can wear biking. I'm looking for something reasonably good looking/stylish as opposed to hardcore practicality. My main problem is having a reasonably small face/head, so most goggles look ridiculously outsized. Obviously, I'm not looking for the Oakley O-Frame/L-Frame style huge face-covering things here. Something roughly in the same size as the Oakley Minute style glasses (http://www.oakley.com/ostore/eyewear/minute/) or slightly bigger would be ideal. Does anyone have any suggestions?

If you don't mind springing for Oakleys, I've found the Straight Jackets to be ok. I find the Minute lenses slightly too cramped for my peripheral vision. Oakley lenses also have excellent clarity which is quite important to me. I think the Minutes fog abit faster than the Straights too but this might depend on the clearance between the frame and your face. The Splice and Plates look cool too but I haven't tried them. bloocow - vanity trip |

I've got a pair of (broken and scratched, but wearable) minutes, and a nice pair of square wires which I usually wear, and are great. I would like a pair of goggles in the same sort of size, though.

Thanks for the responses. Oh, I was wondering why you mentioned Minutes when you wanted goggles. One pint of beer and my reading comprehension breaks down. |-p I actually only know of swimming goggles that come in Minute sizes. We don't ski here so I wouldn't know if there are ski goggles that small. Good luck. bloocow |

The goggle format is at the bottom of the page. http://www.rudyprojectusa.com/produc...les/ekynox.htm They also have a smaller sized ekynox (the sx), but it doesn't look like it comes in goggle format yet. Send 'em an email and see if they're planning on doing it any time soon though, if they get some demand they might go for it. Jon Bond |
