Recommendations for decent glacier glasses that fit smaller/women's faces, please?
I've tried a few styles, but so far haven't found "the one".
The Julbo Micropores are too wide/loose at the temple & difficult to adjust comfortably at the ear.
The Tensing is too large all over.
The Tensing medium almost fits, but the earpieces are uncomfortable and I get so much "ventilation" that my eyes hurt.
The Monterosa is shaped wrong for my face & lets a LOT of light in. Also, the side shields are crap, IMO.
I think my face may be shaped strangely.  Maybe more narrow than most in the temples?
Soo, just wondering if anyone else has a small face & has found a style that fits well & performs great?
I don't care at all about the looks--I just want a quality pair that fits close to my face.

Have you considered the "Vermont" I got a pair of that style when I was 12 and the classic all metal frame could be bent to adjust the fit.

If you have a generous health insurance plan, perhaps an optician can help with this.

Good info! I had wondered if they would bend a little! I'll check those out.
AlpineRose, I *wish* my insurance would help out. The plan I'm on now is horrid, though.
