What goggles should I buy that won't hurt a nose like mine?...

I've always had a pretty big nose haha, but recently I over rotated a back flip on a tramp and my nose hit the out metal rim and praticly blew up. My nose is now bigger then it was before haha, and I find it hard to breath with goggles i've had before, what ones do people recommend me getting? I'd like a blacked out lens, yes, i've seen splices but spending £120+ on goggles that i'll ski in 3 weeks a year is a little steep, any help would be grateful, thanks.

Also if anyone would/could hook me up with a pair of splices w/ black iridium lens for a good price i'll take them off your hands. Thanks again.

k+ for help.

Oakley splices have a very shallow nose area specifically to reduce pressure on your nose. I would have to say those and they work good with helmets!

I tried on some splices and they certainly do have a bigger nose area then than crowbars. But the crowbars had bigger lenses. I think my wisdoms had a bigger nose area than both of them, they have bigger lenses too. And mine fit fine with my helmet.

Can't go wrong with Splices.  I used to have a pair of Spy Soldiers, and though I loved them, they would kinda squeeze my nose, so I got a pair of Splices last year and I love them.  They are definitely bigger in the nose area.

Yeah, the splices had a more comfortable nose area, the crowbars seemed like they had a slightly larger field of view. did i mess something up?

Stay away from the I/O.. they have a really small nose "groove". I love them, since they fit my face.. but like i said, stay away from them considering you have a LARGE nose now. haha.

i would go for splices, their shape allows you to sag lower than a normal goggle without pinching your nose, they were the most comfortable goggle i ever had, however i had a problem where i fell and the points on them dug into my face
