 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi everybody !
Last year I bourght myself a pair of Oakley Wisdom goggles - and first of all I would like to say that it's a damn good pair of goggles!!!
However, the foam is pinching my nose a bit - have any of you tried the same? -And have you solved the problem?
I'm thinking about cutting off a little slice of the middle-layer-foam?
Hope you can help me!

Mr Snowy had that problem with his Oakley Wisdom goggles too. He took them back and got some A-frames instead.

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

Cosmetic surgery to the nose?

I can certainly feel mine on my nose but I wouldn't say they are any worse than other goggles I've tried.

FenlandSkier > Do you also have the Wisdoms ? Do you think it will be damageing the goggles to cut a little slice out in the middle-layer-foam around the nose ?

Mine are Wisdoms as well but I tried several different ones out in the shop first. Try some others models/brands and if they fit better stick the Oakleys on Ebay, if you start modifying them first they'll be harder to shift on Ebay later.

Yeah I just searched for 'nose' and this is one of the few that turned up (that was along the same lines as my issue!), along with others about 'nose hairs' and 'nose trimming' etc

It seems to be a quite common problem. Take a look at the Oakley Splice goggles. They're designed to avoid putting pressure on the nose. Similar in size to the crowbars but with an easier lens change system (or so I'm told).
