Big face yes, big nose, no.

Ok, so I hate goggles, but sometimes you just need them. I got the wisdoms because they're reputed to fit big noggins well, which they do (I wear an XL helmet.)

What they don't do is fit big noses. I've got the wonderfully big solar panel nose courtesy of my grandfather (proportional to my head, but big), and the nose notch on the wisdoms is too darn narrow. It causes the goggles to either sit too high or squeeze my nostrils closed. If you've got a schnoz on you, look elsewhere, these will make you miserable.

Other stuff: The strap connection system is pure plastic with small contact areas and as such, highly suspect. Peripheral vision is decidedly so-so, and your up and down vision is similarly mediocre.

Overall, I'd call these a decidedly Ho-hum offering that don't really change my opionion on goggles being uncomfortable and limiting to your vision.
