Small Goggles

I've been looking around for a new pair of gogs and I want a pair that is smaller with a cylindrical lense. I have just come from Oakley Splices and I really don't like them. I've been looking at Electric EG.5 and I was wondering if they would be too small for my face. I have a pretty big melon. My large Holt helmet is a little tight. Any experience with them? Would they be to small for my face, or not? Any other goggles suggestions? Thanks

I dont get it. Do you want something smaller or similar in size to the splice but a different goggle?

the eg 2.5 is a smaller version of the 2. Its for like girls/kids/people with small heads and it would probably look pretty bad with the holt, which is a big helmet, IMO

if you want small the oakley a frame and O frame are pretty small although the o frame isnt spherical. Maybe the smith i/o or poc makes some good goggles that might be pretty compatible with that helmet

Oakley A frames are actually much bigger than the splice, they are very wide.
If you don't like the fit of the splice and want a spherical lens, take a look at the crowbars as they are smaller.

ELectric EGB2 is pretty good. Cylindrical and has a good fit

spherical and cylindrical are the same thing numb nuts. Just different tech jargon for the same curved lens tech. Wow!

Haha you're a goddamn dink, and wrong.

Anyways OP, if you want something smaller, cylindrical and crazy cheap, I would look for some EGBs, not EGB2s, just EGBs. They look pretty dang cool.
