I have the oakley canopy goggles and they are a good goggle, but why are they so god damn small!? I cant see anything out of them... My aunt bought them a year ago and they have really been bothering me. Do they have different sizes? Maybe my aunt got me a small size because my head isn't that big and there is just no peripheral.... the lens is 9 inches


Anyone no a somewhat cheap goggle that has a black lens and has good peripheral?

The Oakley flight deck has the most peripheral of any goggle on the market (according to Oakley). From what I've heard smith and Oakley are really the top 2 in terms of pure optical performance.

Dude what are you talking about?? The canopy is one of the larger frames on the market for sure... Compared to my AFrame 2.0s they are quite large...

That said, no they do not come in different sizes. Companies like smith have different products models that are geared toward different fits: I/O for medium, I/OX for large, I/OS for small, and the I/O7 is somewhere between the I/O and I/OX. But in all cases I recommend trying stuff on to see what fits your head/helmet/face best

Then I dont have the canopy, I am just so confused and simply dissapointed haha... I am 17 and a hundred pounds... My head is not big at all

The canopy looks huge when I see them in ski edits so there must be a mini canopy

Asian fit goggles are the same size as regular ones, the main difference is that there is more foam in the nose area on asian fit.

Ok because there is no explanation for the small canopys that I thought I had I researched for a while and found my goggles name


the a frame flight 2.0 so that explains why it is soo small

Do you do anything on this site apart from bitching out ski gear manufacturers?
