Poster: A snowHead
|
I am looking for polarised, wrap arounds for skiing. I have a smaller than average bridge of nose so most brands slip off/let air in around eyes.
Up to now I have used customised Ladies Straightjacket Oakleys - but these are now discontinued and the standard size (for men) is way too big.
Any suggestions for alternative brands appreciated (or would there be any advantage in waiting until one of my trips - Austria/italy/France?)
Thanks.

I have very slim face, love Decathlon's triathlon glasses (tho' they do many models, many different fits - they were around £ 15 ish I recall). Use 'em summer and winter, Cat 3. Not 100% windproof, but never found any which are once at any speed. Tight enough on me to swim in, too.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Thanks. I will probably pop into the Gateshead store next week as I'm around that area then. See what they've got.

Course, it is really the wrong type of year to expect Decathlon to be stocking sunglasses. Worth a go, but maybe a better range in 4-6m time?
Make sure to check the many different sections - you know what they're like. Might be in the running section or something?

Thanks. I had wondered about these. But the problem is it is only really my nose bridge that's narrow. I "think" my face is average. Is the whole frame smaller? I'd be bit wary of ordering something customised without trying them on.

Thanks. I'll keep my eye out. As I mentioned to Grizzler I'm a bit wary of ordering without trying (I made massive mistake with ski goggles once - they practically covered my mouth.... )

I know but I'll be staying in Low Fell which is only a couple of miles away so I may as well try it. I don't think I'd make a special trip for the reasosn you point out. But they may just have something. Good tip re looking everywhere -I'm a bad shopper and may not have bothered...
