Shooting glasses for very narrow faces

[SarahG]

Does anyone know of good shooting glasses for narrow faces? I have Revision Sawflys in size small and while they function just fine, they are still gigantic on my face and get a little uncomfortable after awhile.

I was looking at some Oakley glasses, but want something with lenses that I can use indoors so just sunglasses wouldn't work for me. I didn't see any options with clear or only slightly tinted lenses from Oakley.

The internet is full of options as to shooting glasses.
I am not sure where to send you as I have no issues wearing standard offerings but I am sure that a solid Google search will net you some returns.

Nike and Adidas come to mind. You might also check into youth sizes as well (the Oakley youth Quarter Jacket comes to mind Oakley Quarter Jacket (Youth Fit) in REDLINE / BLACK IRIDIUM ). They would have shorter temple lengths which you might be needing as well.

I can't believe you're still sporting these....

Thanks for the suggestions! I stupidly didn't think to look at youth models.

While we are doing statements that don't look good standing alone, I'll just say,

Well, leave it to Kirk to turn you on to looking at youth models.

That sounds almost wienerish...

Oakley also makes Asian fit glasses with interchangeable lenses. Those might work for you as well. I bought those by mistake one time wasn't pretty. -Jason

I just bought these. And while I'm not bothered by larger glasses, they are large and I'll probably modify them by putting some rubber over the ear pieces for added friction. But an amazing deal for $99 through Midway. And I LOVE Oakley's Prizm lenses. There is a smaller version of the same (called the Spoil instead of the Reap), but not on sale, of course.
I've been wearing Flak 2.0 with Road Prizm lenses, but they have a scratch right where I aim. I couldn't find replacement lenses (out of stock), so now I have separate driving and shooting glasses. But I do really love my Flak's, too. The contrast with almost any of the Prizm lenses is perfect for shooting, IMO.

You might try a hardware store for tubing or plastidip.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Just because a couple of ex-girlfriends were on the petite side (ok, one had to shop in junior miss) doesn't mean I have short eyes!

Excellent suggestion. Thank you.

 

[actaeon277]

Excellent suggestion. Thank you.

At work we'd use some specialty tygon tubing we have for jobs. But there are different types, I can't tell you which. But, at the store you should be able to find one more rubbery and stretchy. You don't want the hard plastic.

ESS has "Asian Fit" shields that are working well for my wife. They take a prescription RX insert, and have a nose piece designed for smaller faces / flatter nose bridge.
