Checked it out, looks heaps good but that place charges heaps for international shipping.
Im in Australia =(

Found: http://www.ridemteverest.com , this place has 20$ shipping to aus and has a good range.

I think ill go around to the stores in my area and try some on for shape etc, Thing is there is very little range where I am and expensive.. reason for me asking here.

Thanks

Yeah i have a keen eye on those, my head isnt HUGE. Are they larger in size than most? Im going to browse around see if i can find some to try and order online.

Otherwise looking at some Electric ones.

And yeah everything in Aus is so overpriced its bullocks.

Cheers guys

I'd say they are maybe a little bigger than average, a little bigger than crowbars, but smaller then huge goggles like EG2s or something. My buddy who is like 5'10" with a normal head loves his too and they look normal on him

Decided on the Smith I/O goggles. 166$ shipped from backcountry in the end.

Just going to go around the area see if i can find a pair to check if they look good on me. They look RAD though!

Smith I/O or Dragon Rouge I own both goggles and they are both awesome. I especially love my Dragons they look sick and they are quite comfortable and have a high quality construction. evo as well as backcountry.com have a good selection and good prices. I got my I/Os from REI so it might not be a bad idea to check out what they have. REI has sales pretty regularly.

My POC Lobe's are shweet. Super wide peripheral, more than the EG2's I'd say.
