is there any noticeable difference fit wise compared to standard oakleys?? i have quite a slim narrow face, will the asian fit be more suited than standard ones?

any one had both?

please help!

I'm told by a friend of mine of asian descent and relatively narrow face that, yes, it does make a noticeable difference. YMMV

I 'think' that if anything the Asian fit is wider than standard, has a few other differences too...

If I recall the asian fit versions are a little smaller and a little narrower around the nose, and they also have a shallower back sweep on the frames than the ones designed for us fat head gwailo.

The differences vary from model to model and are more pronounced on some than others, depending on the shape. Basically Oakley are horrible eugenicists who would have us believe our asian cousins are inferior.

Asian fit suits a wider, flatter profile.
