finding the right oakleys for wide nose bridge

akhomerun · Guest

hi there, if any of you know anything about current oakley shades, i just bought a pair of bottlecap glasses, but i just noticed that it rides high on my nose because i have a large bone in the bridge of my nose.

i was wondering if any of you knew of any models they sell that have a wider bridge. i would guess that the metal ones are adjustable, but really i prefer plastic.

it's too bad because i really love the way the bottlecap glasses look!

Hey, I thought the "asian" fit Oakleys were supposed to address that problem???

I think the Asian fit is good when glasses sit too low on your face.

Bolle has some plastic frames with their Adjustable Thermogrip Nose Pads that have a rachet design to spread the pads for a custom fit. See the Bolle Traverse and Bolle Swiftkick.

I don't think you can go by the "Distance Between Lenses" measurement they give for glasses because it doesn't give you a good idea of how the nose pads will sit on your face.

Asian fit Oakleys are great for those of us with a little extra oomph between our eyes.
