Hey everyone, just wondering if the oakley airbrakes will fit comfortably over glasses and how big they would they compare to other oakley goggles. It'll help a lot!

You may just be able to fit glasses underneath them as they are reasonably large, you may find that the canopys fit your glasses better though as they are larger if you still want oakley.

Otherwise the only thing i can suggest is going into a nearby shop and trying the fuckers on.

Hope that helped.

My local shop doesn't carry them so I can't really try them on; some more info would help

canopy fits close to the face, might be tough to fit glasses under.

My shop doesn't carry Oakley either, what I did was to buy one of each model on zappos, try them all on at home, and then return them all (free shipping both ways)

I have the Oakley Canopy goggle and I wear glasses, and I have a big head.  I can tell you that they fit with no problem what so ever.  I tried on Airbrakes and all the other Oakleys in a shop, and they do fit, but you have to bend the frame a little to get the glasses in and once they're on there's pressure on the glasses which I didn't like. 
Basically, I recommend Canopy for anyone with glasses.

Yuup. same here. Hockey, mountain biking and skiing did help me want to wear contacts. and also having sick ass sunglasses instead of gay prescription sunglasses.

if your glasses have a small frame you'll be fine. There are a lot of goggles that would accommodate glasses though like canopies and EG2's.
