I have an older pair of Smith OTG IIs that nearly fit over my rather
large frames.  I've recently bought two pair of Carrera goggles that
fit very comfortably, but the lens is designed in such a way that the
front separates from the side - they're two pieces glued together -
much too easily.

The feature of the Carreras - aside from their size - that made them
comfortable is a gap in the foam where the temples of the glasses go.
The Smiths that I have don't have that gap, but I've seen some goggles
other than the Carreras - maybe including newer Smiths - that have it.
