I bought the Oakley A frames last year for backpacking in windy conditions because reviews said that the breath well. I tried them on last week and they don't fit my face. The bridge of my nose is squeezed down so that I can breath through my nose. This is a deal breaker for high altitude climbing. I am 6', 2", 230, with a slightly longer nose. I am looking for a frame with a deep V cut in the nose bridge and superior lense quality. Any suggestions?

Check out the Smith I/O. I picked up a pair this year for skiing and they are excellent. There's more room around the nose than my old A-Frames and they flow more air as well, which helps prevent fogging. I also noticed that they are significantly cooler than my A-Frames, they don't keep my eyes as warm. This is probably a good thing, especially for backpacking, where you won't be moving as fast to help prevent the fogging.
