Issue with Revision Spider Wolf goggles. Advice.

[Punisher3990]

Good Afternoon Legends!

I have recently bought myself some Revision Spider Wolf goggles from ebay. I wear glasses and have obtained the Rx inserts for them. Anyway, I have an odd issue with them, and I wanted to know if all pairs are like this or if I was unlucky with the ones I got from eBay. 

They are the perfect size and fit well in all but 2 areas. My temples. See, this is where the issues lie, it looks like the rubber seal is bulging outwards. I am not sure how well the picture shows it, but they seem to bulge towards my face, leaving indents in my skin. To start with, I figured it out because they are likely unused or new, and the rubber needs to wear in a bit.

Is this normal for these goggles, or have I been super unlucky and bought a dud? I can get another pair as i will be butchering these somewhen to try fit Exfog, but would be nice to know if theres a chance my next pair will be the same? 

Thanks!

Buying them off eBay means they're probably repros tbh

Pretty sure they are genuine ones, they look identical to the ones on the Revisions website and have all the trademarks, and came with the revision-branded cloth, etc.

Weirdly looking at other images of these googles it seems to be standard, which is odd because it makes them a little uncomfortable. It's better with a balaclava under, but it seems an odd design considering they are meant to be military standards lol.

Not sure how I can fix these to resolve the issue.

This. Some of the knock offs do look identical to the real ones but I wouldn't trust them to protect my eyes.

As it seems most replies are just going to be "You bought fakes" here is proof they are not:

Images of my goggles:

Clearly has the Revision logo

View attachment 153085

Lenses have a revision copyright on them, Clearly with the correct ratings

The frame also has the Copyright and also the correct rating. Now tell me if im wrong repros wouldnt go to that effort? 

Revision goggles from Revisions website :

Identical except for colour

Now let's look at the fake ones that are sold on ebay

No R logo on the top,

No lense rating and the side is clearly different. 

I have done over 40+ hours of research on goggles. I wear glasses, and it sucks to find goggles when you have to wear glasses. I have bought and returned over 15 pairs because they didn't fit or were too small. I may be a new player but I am not an idiot who falls for fake items. 

Does anyone have any advice other than, you bought fakes?

maybe trim the rubber a little with a craft knife to make them easier on your head?

I have just given this a go, and it took a bit of fighting, but I managed to scrape off the rough edge at least. Might see if I can find some fine sandpaper to remove the rest. 

It seems that the bulge on the sides here is intentional; all pairs I have found images of have this. I think it's to seal around the dip in the face where the eye socket is, but my pair had a rough edge there

I was just curious if this was intentional, and it seems like it is. 

They feel more comfortable after giving them a trim. Now to cut s hole somewhere for ExFog to go lol
