I highly recommend this company:

https://www.intakebreathing.com/

Several pros in all kinds of sports use them. Think of it as rigid breath right strip that actually works.
They started out as a product of asterisk and were integrated with the goggles, but now with this system you can pretty much us them for anything, even sleeping.

Keefer did a review on it (read about it here https://www.keeferinctesting.com/tech-testing/2018/7/30/ac-performance-…), and the owner Dave Castillo (remember Castillo Ranch from Crusty?) was on Pulp about a year ago to talk about it.

Thank me later

I had the same issue. I switched to Scott Tyrant/Hustle and have had much better luck.

Thank you for all of your input. Went down to my local Powersports dealer and they only carried 100% strata and the Oakley airbrake. Tried on the airbrake with my helmet and was instantly comfortable. As if they werent there. I know they’re usually around $160-$200 ish. Dealer had them on sale for $75 and with my military discount walked out with them for $58 lol. They feel awesome

That is an awesome deal!! Hell I was super happy when I paid $90.00 for a set! I got greedy and bought 4 sets. I do love them. I have to remember to "re-try " those nose strips and see if that helps my nose stay open while using them. Btw....thanks for your service dude!

I’ve been using Spy Foundation goggles and love them. They offer peripheral vision as well. Like others have said, I would try on the goggles you’re looking at with your helmet.

Edit: sorry, I just saw that you were able to find something that works well (and for a hell of a deal) 👍🏻

I have a size large Fly F2 helmet, wear glasses under my goggles, and have basically a standard sized nose.
The most comfortable goggles I own at the moment are Fox vue, they fit well over my glasses and in the helmet opening, and don’t push down on my nose, I also have a pair of 100% OTG accuri that fit over the glasses just as well as the Vue, but they touch the top of the helmet opening and pushed down on my nose, so I had to shave the foam a bit.
YMMV

Same here. I trim the foam from the inside of the goggle and it works like a charm.

Man I can almost never find a place that sells spy! Otherwise I would have given them a shot. Spy and dragon are hard to come by these days

Thank you, I really appreciate it. And yeah now I want to get another pair lol. I got the pair that came with the roll off system installed. Can you take the roll of canister off and swap a normal lens on the goggle?

You guys can try on a set of Scott Hustle's , they have an adjustable nose cam that uses two little flat head screws. It's that very reason I switched to them about 6 years ago. I think a few other Scott models do the same. I love my Oakley Airbrakes for the vision and overall feel , but I don't seem to be able to breath through my nose as well. Think partly because they are a tad " taller " and rides against the brim of my helmet , pushing the goggles down slightly onto my nose. The Hustle's didn't do that.
This.
I've only used Hustles for the last 5 years. Bought a pair of Airbrakes and Prospects but never really used them. The Hustles are also incredibly cheap. Replacement lenses, Tear offs, all cheap.
Some Scott pro riders prefer them as well. Jorge Prado for example. Cody Webb uses them in hard enduro

I’m in love with the Oakley air brake goggles I just picked up! Definitely worth a shot if you don’t like the 100%

I just picked up the new Fury today and tried it out. I'm liking it.

For reference, I wore the Tyrants for years. I also get the smushed nose and loved them with the adjustable nose, same as the Hustle (Hustle fits skinny/small faces, Tyrant was better for bigger/wider faces). For some reason, when the Prospect came out, Scott stopped making the Tyrant but still makes the Hustle.

I tried the Prospect, but it smushed my nose bad. Like others have said, due to the tall size, the helmet pushed them down too low on my nose. The Fury uses the same lenses as the Prospect but the frame is more compact and the foam is much less bulky. It's also arc'ed a little harder but still feels great on my wide face.

Here's some comparison pics. Prospect is red, Fury is Blue.

That Prospect you have was 1st generation. It went threw 2 more since then. Currently the 2020 face foam is really comfortable and the nose has been thermo former really well. FURY is really good too

Ahhh, thanks for making that clarification. I had no clue as I basically gave up on the Prospect with the probs I had with these 1st gen. This also gets to my basic complaint with goggles. The manufacturers are very keen on marketing the cool features but it's hard to get info on the things that matter, like fit and small changes year to year that might make a huge difference. Do you think the newer generation foam makes a difference in nose pinch? I've found that, in general, sometimes the "higher end" 3-layer molded foams actually are worse as the base foam layer is firmer and less forgiving if it doesn't fit your nose exactly right.

I love my prospects with my Moto 9, but after trying on a set of the new Leatt goggles I may be switching next year. Most comfortable foam I've ever felt
