Good goggles or glasses that don't strain your head

I just bought new Rivet Glasses and I tried them on for a game, but I notice they put some stress on my head and strain my head after a few hours then comes my awful headache. The same effect comes from my JT goggles as well.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good goggles or glasses that don't strain your head.

Adjust the straps. Seriously if the straps are tight enough to cause a headache then you might want to adjust them.


Ive never in my life developed a headache from a pair of goggles strapped to my head. Swimming goggles, SCUBA mask, Airsoft, whatever. I mean you would really have to ratchet them down to cause any kind of stress on your skulll and by extension give you a headache.


Good luck

Cheers



(Also I recommend the ESS Ice Line, they are very comfortable and I can wear them for quiet long periods of time without any discomfort whatso ever)

had this happen, loosen straps on goggled and never happened again, Just a noodish mistake that even vets make, tightening goggles too much thinking "or else they fall off".

i think the rivets are just glasses tho, no strap unless they come with one which i dont think they do.

No they don't come with straps but the sides that hold on your ear really are tight.

Haha i know i found that video.

Sounds like your head is just too big for them to be plain honest

What i used to do with small fitting hats that didn't fit me too well, i would place them on something shaped like a head, like a melon/watermelon and stretch out whatever i was trying to fit.

Maybe put them on something slightly bigger than your head, or just try and bend the plastic. Heat up the arms on a stove element without making it bubble and shape the arms.

Nope I've got a tiny asian head , but If I tried to heat them up I'm worried I might break the frame and it would break in a game :O

+1 for the ESS Ice.

Fully adjustable, you can barely feel them. Really light.

Well if the arms on the glasses are plastic, they wont break, they'll just bend with heat.

They might break if you try to bend them without heat.

Just dont have whatever you're heating the arms with too close to the arms because you'll get bubbling.

Where around here lets you play with just glasses anyways? They sound cheap enough for $20 at CT. So it wont be a total loss if you fudge them.

Im skeptical about ordering Wiley X SG-1s because they are small like glasses, even tho they can take a full on bullet and not crack i dont see many places letting me play with them. I plan to use them with one of those brass guard half masks as well.

If you take a look into the Wiley X Nerve goggles, you'll also see that they are made just for people with smaller heads/narrow heads and even females. They might be your best bet and they look cooler than Superfly snuka jumping off the top ropes onto macho man randy savage.
