I need to find some goggles for a large face... I have a rediculously wide shaped head so when I wear medium sized goggles it reduces my peripherals. I need to find some large goggles for a wide sized face. So far I've been looking at the Oakley crowbar but im not sure if thats oakleys biggest goggle. Ive also looked at the Von Zipper Feenom. anybody else have this problem????

.....an oldie but a goodie...

I have a big head. XL helmet to prove it.

I have a pair of SPY goggles, but I find them to be a little small.

I'm looking for something a bit bigger, and am wondering if the oakley Airbrake or Splice are any bigger.

Anyone have these goggles?

Wrong section, but...

I have a huge and wide head. I bet mine is bigger and wider than yours (yes, that was intentional).

The goggles I have on in my Avatar have great peripheral vision. The problem with these though (and with most others), is that there is a gap between the sides and my helmet. Looks silly on top of me catching a breeze there. They are Spy Platoons. Love them.

Other goggles to consider:

Oakley Canopy

Dragon APX

Smith I/O

Giro Onset <--- this one deceivingly offers wide peripheral vision so make sure you try it on before judging the cover.

Electric EGs are massive so if you wear a helmet, be sure to check if they fit properly with it.

+1 for Oakley Canopy. I went to the Oakley store and tried all of them on. The Canopy are very wide. They had the best peripheral vision out of all of them. I also have a Smith Maze helmet and the combination of both I forget I have them on because they are so lightweight and no vision obstructions.

I have a 65cm head. I wear eg2 because they have the best fit of an goggles I have owned or ridden with yet. Have tried fishbowls, fenoms, the dragons with the huge lens, crowbars, canopy and iox Among the mix. The only other goggle I may buy is the iox turbo fan just because I put out alot of heat and moisture...... Their peripheral was ok but none are as good as eg2

Dragon D1

I have a ridiculously large body, head and face included.I searched high and low for an affordable pair of goggles and managed to snag a new pair of Dragon D1 goggles. Very large fitting and they rang in at US$37 delivered from a web site called Eyedictive. Other goggles I tried, liked but found too expensive were the Dragon D3, Smith Knowledge, Oakley O2 XL, Von Zipper Cleaver, Anon Relapse and the Giro Blok.

Interestingly, Oakley had an on slope free trial booth one day last year and they did not have a single pair that fit me from the hundreds they had for loan (they did not have the abovementioned O2 XL model)
