Ski/Snowboard Goggles for Cycling?

[ridebikeme]

I too, have a small face, but there are definitely lots of models out there that are NOT women specific... Oakley and Smith are two of the premier models that offer such goggles. The other thing to consider is where you will ride and what types of light would you see? Will you see mostly snow? Is it overcast/sunny alot in your area? There are some really great lenses out there and simply wanted you to think about your area... and get the appropriate lense. I've sold tons of goggles in my time, and if you're able to get what fits and the type of lens you'll need then you'll have a great time.

Also, depending on your helmet, you mgiht want to take that with you when you start looking for goggles...the shape of some helmets interferes with the fit of the goggle and could potentially push the goggle down on your nose.

Good luck in your search!

Odds are that I'd mostly be wearing them when it's overcast and snowy (especially if the weather guys are right about the current seasonal models), so I'm guessing a lighter orange/red/amber sort of lens is what I'd be looking for...?

I'm guessing any taller goggle would not be compatible with my helmet. Too bad no one makes goggles specifically for use with a bike helmet. I'm sure there would be at least some demand for something like that.

I have a pair of Oakley A-frames (unisex) and Scott something or others that are WS. The Oakleys actually fit my small face better. I tried on a pair of Smith WS googles once, and they were positively tiny and uncomfortable. Your best bet is to try them on and not rule out unisex goggles, IME.
