Hey I have a small head(6 7/8 is my hat size) so what goggles would you suggest that would fit well and look hecka-cool for a man like me with such a small (but tottaly pimp'n) head?
P.S. you might see this topic in the mask section but due to the lack of posts in the mask section i have decided to post it here it the happening forum!

I have a size 7 1/4 head and I feel that my Raven Nuvis is a tad bit too small around the bottom and sides. Try someone's Nuvis or Diablo Skul (I recommend the Nuvis more because you don't have to fix the foam and the lenses are much stronger than any other on the market)

Do NOT buy a Brass Eagle mask!!!! Those things will actually break when they get hit by a paintball. MANY people (not just a few) have been permanently BLINDED because their brass eagle masks exploded into their eyes when it got hit by a paintball. If you have a BE mask, THROW IT OUT. Buy something by JT or Scott. I'd rather not play paintball than to play with a brass eagle mask.
I too have a small head. I have found that Scott masks are a pretty good fit. The smallest fitting mask I've found was the 32 degrees Head Case mask, and the JT NVision (or whatever that $30 mask is called). I don't like those masks, because they're not thermal, and they don't have much peripheral vision. I use a Scott Extreme Stalker thermal with some modifications.

The best way to make a big mask fit is to wear a baseball cap backwards, and put the bill under the strap. I do this anyways because it protects the back of your neck.

Hmmm, I don't recal hearing of a pending lawsuit against BE for faulty equipment and since they are designed to withstand paintball hits, breaking would count as faulty. Also you forgot that BE owns JT so is their stuff crap too? Stop bashing BE with false info.

Now while I am not a fan of BE their goggles or any products but they all passed the ASTM test or they would not be aboe to be sold. As for JT I think the BE learned to keep well enough alone when they got crap for fixing the feed neck size of the VL REVO. Just spend your money where you think best.

Yeah, as someone said try diablo skull masks. They are pretty good for the price compared to a spectra. I own a spectra and it looks pretty big on me.

BE masks are great if you want a cheap reliable small mask.
Or Skull because they look hella sweet (even if you look like a watermelon head with it on)
