Who's used them?  Which ones (goggs or sunglasses)?  Did you notice a difference?

Any pair of sunglasses I get sit on my cheeks not my nose, pull down on my ears and cause a head ache.  Thinking about the asian fit but want to get perspective before I bust out $150.

Pretty solid for girls. I know a few that wear them. I would highly recommend you try them on somehow before you drop that kind of money.

know anywhere in Colorado that carries them?

I know places that carry the Splice (or whatever it's called), but not the sunglasses.

no theres no difference between the lenses, there is an added piece of foam on the nose part, and thats the only difference

actually, there is a lens change. on top of the added foam around the bridge of the nose, the whole nose area is pushed together slightly in the frame. with goggles the asian fit lenses fit in normal frames and vice versa, but there is a higher chance for lens crackage.

i emailed oakley and they told me that there's no difference in lenses.

but i can imagine that the asian fit crow-lenses are more likely to break because of the smaller frame.
