Default glasses that work

I realize there are tons of eye protection threads but I have a specific question.. I have a small face.. I bought the Wiley X Airrage Sunglasses and my eyes still get plasted with air and its not comfortable..

Wow, you must really have a narrow face! Mine is narrow and the Airrage Black Ops fit great! How about looking at Maxx's line of glasses & goggles? I bought their goggles before I switched to Wiley X.
