Big Goggles for My Big Head

So I'm thinking of getting a new pair of goggle, ones that will actually fit my face. Tried some VZ's on at my local shop and they were big and fit nicely but didnt really have a good setup for wearing them in a helmet. Tried on all of the "cool" looking ones and all the Oakley ones cus people start talking fast and get excited about how good the vision is, but they all werent comfortable. Anybody know of some companies that make big boy goggles for my large dome? (and yes, I've checked product reviews and got tired of going through every one). Thanks!

Yup. if these are the Electrics that I'm thinking of then they should be plenty big for your dome.

They do not. They're not extremely small, but they're on the little side.

If you can find any, since the don't make them any more, Arnette Series II goggles are massive. So much so that they look a bit odd if you wear them without a helmet.

So I've been doing some research on goggles as you might have guessed, and I found that Oakleys generall have very good vision because of the way the lense is shaped, but if you want better side-to-side vision that is unobstructed by the frames, go for a larger goggle. It really depends on your face. I just got tired of wearing goggles that had poor vision or didn't fit my face very well (or both), so I just said fuck it and bought just about the largest goggle I could get: the electric EG2 (^thanks for the recommendations). Along with the other suggestions above, Von Zipper Fenoms are pretty big. I have a big face and head, tried them on, and I almost went with them.

Just got my EG2's in the mail, holy shit are they sweet, super happy I got them. I wear a size 8 hat and have a big face too, and I can see everything, super comfortable, and look cool. Kinda pushed down in my helmet (Smith Holt) but they'll work.
