Try Tifosi. They work for me, I have a small nose bridge...almost none. The photo sensitive is great if you ride in varying terrain. cost around $50

If your willing to give smiths another try I have the Theory ones. No matter how sweaty my nose gets, they don't slide down. Stay right in place. When I run, they don't bounce around either.

I have a small face too and Tifosi's Gavia line works for me. They're specifically for women/smaller faces. They have various styles available at TE. Here's a link to one of them:

Indysteel and sah- Thanks for the Tifosi recommendation. I think I tried almost every pair except the Gavia line because the one shop in my area that carries them didn't have that kind. Maybe I'll try ordering them online.
Chicwhorips - I haven't tried any other Smith, so maybe I'll try the theories. Thanks for the recommendation!
I've never been "small" anything, so I'm having trouble believing that my face is considered "small"!!!

You also might want to check out Zeal Optics - REI carries them and they have several models that are designed for smaller faces. I love my toasters, and some of the Zeals fit my face comparably.

I'm with mimi... go into your version of the "$2 Shop" and get cheapies...
They're just to reduce glare and stop bugs...
Thats all I use, don't trust myself with expensive glasses

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

Some people don't do well with cheap sunglasses though. I bought a cheap nice looking pair and wore them on a 3 hour ride last Fall. After an hour I had a splitting headache, took the glasses off and the headache was gone in 5 minutes. Put them back on and headache returned. Off again, and headache immediately disappeared. Finally the lightbulb went on.

They had fit my head just fine- it was something about the curved lenses I think....
Now I have some good polarized more expensive sunglasses, and no more headaches while riding.Last edited by BleeckerSt_Girl; 06-16-2007 at 07:12 PM.
