I've got Oakley Splice that work really well. My head and face are huge (so I'm regularly told by my mates) and they fit well. Some good deals on them if you look around.

Oakley A frame are for medium to large and i have been using a pair of these. I have recently switched to the Oakley Crowbar which are for a large face and cant recommend them highly enough. They have a slightly better field of view than the a frame which is also good.
Upside to buying oakleys is that there are so many differnt types of lenses that are readily available on the internet - i puchased a spare VR50 pink iridium lense which i love for bright days. I have never liked the full dark lenses and this one works really well in bright light. reason i dont like the full dark lenses is that i tend to be first out and last back when i ski and how many times have you been heading back to the hotel with the sun behind the mountain and you are in the shadows? those really dark lenses are not good in those conditions.
There are cheaper goggles out there but you pay for what you get and if you do a bit of searching on ebay etc you will always find a deal that means the oakleys are very similar to any other goggles in price.

But a pita if you actullay want to change the lens... Ok if you were just going to stick with one of the lenses tho probably. I tried some on with the intention of buying them if the lens change wasn't a massive deal. I couldn't do it. The shop assistant couldn't do it and by the time I left the shop 30 mins later they were still struggling with it!

I've got a pair of Bolle Quasar OTG (£57 from vision 3K http://www.vision3k.com/brands/bolle-ski-goggles/quasar-otg.asp).
My friend commented "they're not goggles, they're the front off a friggin space helmet!". I got the Vermillion Gun lense.[/img]

Not sure of your budget but I can recommend the Oakely Airbrake. My head is massive and they fit really well, especially with a helmet
