I have a big ole head too. I wear a modular helmet with flip down sun shield. Works great. Cant have a tinted visor after dark.

I've noticed that you don't see many goggles out there anymore. In the 70s and 80s, they were still pretty evident...the newbies usually wear more expensive eyewear. I like goggles, especially at night (not a windshield-type guy even at age 55).

I wuz joking too, ('cept my joke wasn't nearly as good as the paper bag one)...
but seriously: on the goggle side of things, Captain Itch has these babies available: http://www.capt-itch.com/ugly_goggles.htm

and I bought a pair offa' http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/ that fit over my prescription glasses. I haven't used them a ton yet, but they're pretty comfortable and hide a pretty good portion of MY ugly mug. AND, I don't look nearly as suspicious as when I ride with the bag on my head.)

I wear my regular prescription glasses. Over the years I have found that small lenses and a fit close to my face work better than larger lenses that stick out.

Goggles are better protection, find some that fit and are comfortable.
Another option you may not have thought of is to find some sunglasses you like and carefully glue some foam pieces to them.

Go to rxdivemask@aol.com, and go to their goggles section. They have those old aviator type goggles, I think look cool, however my wife thinks, not so cool. They would probably fit Herman Munster.

I can relate to the big head - but sunken eyes and big nose??

sounds like a full-face with a tinted shield might be a good idea.

...you might even wear it on your bike as well, for added safety! :icon _clapclap:

(sorry - i had to)
ROTFFLMMFAO!
