Revision Desert Locust help...
 
I recently purchased some revision desert locust fan goggles. I would consider myself to have a fairly average width of face, butt these goggles dig into my nose quite bad, and don't put pressure uniformly along the rest of the frame. In fact, there's a gap at the back of each side, big enough I can fit my finger in without much trouble.
Not only is this very uncomfortable, I don't wanna game them like this.

Should I have ordered the Asian fit Desert locusts? I didn't think my face was narrow enough to justify a specifically narrower size, but I've been wrong before...
If it makes any difference, I plan to be using these in conjunction with a helmet...

Did you try adjusting the straps? Though I doubt that will work.

Are you Asian? If not maybe you are meant to be :)

I run a pair of Asian fit, and the fit me perfectly :)

No I'm not Asian. Lol. Are you? :P

IF you are not Asian and you have Asian fit goggles, that might be the problem.

However is not Asian and does not have Asian fit goggles, he just stating it's to narrow?

@OP Did you try adjusting the straps and fiddling with it? Did you mount it on your helmet and try it on? Sometimes mounting it on the helmet will change it up.

Asian fit are actually supposed to be wider with a smaller area for the nose bridge. Honestly, I think they'd make your problems worse if you've got a gap on the ends and it's too tight on the nose already. This is because asians typically have wider faces and no nose bridge (flatter and wider noses).

I have a fairly slender face myself and the locusts fit just fine, albeit looked like I was wearing a widescreen TV on my face. They make a lower profile set called WolfSpiders that are great. In my opinion though eyewear is like footwear and you should try them on first of you can.

I bought them used, as a used deal. I will contact the seller to see if they were by any chance an Asian fit or no, but I'm pretty sure they are the regular fit. So I was under the impression the Asian fit are for a narrower face, but I will look into this. Will also check out the wolf spiders.

Are they real or ebay banned clones?

I am Asian and have a very wide face, my Revision Desert Locust (no fan) squeeze my face from left and right side.
The nose part (which I worried the most before buying) is fitting OK though.

Nope, asians have wider faces. I actually have trouble finding sunglasses that fit because normal ones aren't wide enough. Normal ones squeeze my head right at my temples and give me a headache!
