Basically I have a small face and electric egb2 is my current gog... My nose is almost fully covered by the goggle...I am looking for extremely nice goggle that has large FOV and fits small faces...nothing over $150...Link me to any goggle if you feel like +K for suggestions...I like all black goggles keep in mind i have a Saga shutout (Red/Black) and black Saga pants.

My face isn't very big and I love my smith I/O's. The lenses are rediculously easy to swap and they are essentially frameless, so you can make it match pretty much anything you're wearing

Not sure if they fit small faces but check out the anon m1 or the newer m2. The lenses attach with super strong magnets (they wont fall off) and it takes less than 5 seconds to switch lenses. With the m2, you can literally throw a lens from across the room and it will attach in perfect positioning

Oakley o frames are dirt cheap and great for small faces

might be a little out of your price range, but the smith I/O is money.

IO's are in my eyes the best goggle ever made, the hestra/fks equivalent but for goggles.

They're better than the "upgraded" i/ox's too.

You can get them on here for 60$ easily.

This. I've heard tons of great things about the APX as far as durability goes, and they're literally frameless. They're the sickest looking goggle I've ever seen, I'd pick these goggles in a heartbeat before the io's (i plan on buying them soon.)

good friend of mine has them. amazing goggles and they are so comfy. but they arent as durable as you might want. a lady was pushing stuff out of the way to get a table in the lodge and she pushed his goggles right off the table and all of the mirror coating got chipped off. he flipped shit at her and she said it was his fault. unbelievable. but as long as u take care of them they are worth it.

Smith i/o are the way to go, easy lens swap and super comfortable.  I've had my pair for two seasons and no problems so far.

The original EGBs are smaller fitting than the EGB2s. I have owned both and can confirm. If you like the look of them, I would definately suggest just grabbing a pair of those for really cheap.
