Goggles,
Most I try seem to block off nasal passages (sos). Anyone experienced this and any recommendations?

Do you wear a helmet as well?

Being of average nasal capacity I have never had a problem, the Oakley Crowbars have a fancy thing that distributes the pressure of the strap pulling backwards all around the goggle frame so that could be a winner for you. Otherwise get in to a shop and try a few different pairs on! I have had 3 pairs of Oakley goggles (2 crowbar and 1 wisdom) and have no complaints. Lenses are excellent quality too.

Pablo,
Thanks for that. Always seemed a bit pricey but I guess, if needs be.

You can very easily go cheaper but I would recommend trying them on, no one on here can tell you what might fit your face.
Oakley warranty dept. is second to none.. if you break 'em they will fix em/replace 'em for a nominal charge-even if it is your own foolishness that causes it. That security keeps me going back to Oakley products.
You can pick Crowbars up for about £60 iirc, the most important choice you will make is lens colour and that will depend on what weather conditions you intend to use them in!

I got ours from Aldi and wished I had never bothered. I paid about 10 pound each.
Hubbys on the second day suffered from terrible fogging. they seemed to have an inside layer and outside layer and the inside layer came off. all of them were vented. in fact all suffered from terrible fogging. we all wore helmets and I also found that the goggles seemed to block my nasal passages too. I found the helmet seemed to push them further down my nose too. I had my sunglassses with me as well and they were fine, although it was bitterely cold on some days so when skiing with normal sunglasses it really made my eyes water.
Just realised my rant has not helped you in the slightest apart from to let you know you werent alone in the blocked nasal passage scenario! lol
