[Closed] Glasses that work with a POC Tectal

What are people running? I go full enduro with goggles on bigger stuff, but I need something for road/trail riding. Lots of tales of certain glasses interfering with the sides of the helmet.
Budget is £100 give or take a bit. Don't really want rimless/half rim designs as I crash a lot and am concerned about cutting my face.

I've seen the POC Craves, but they're expensive and, err, well, not to my taste...

if you are the upper end of the size guide, glasses wont fit. there needs to be a little gap between the 'wings' and your head

Cheers dude, thought I'd seen it somewhere but searching didn't come up with much. I should have searched for odd head.
Yeah, I'm upper of m/l (only helmet I've ever had where I'm not an L/xl)
Balls.
Edit: lulz, I even replied to that thread. Twice.

I had a similar issue with a Kask road helmet.  I got some Oakley Jawbreakers (Fauxley avaiable at lower cost I'm sure) which have arms adjustable for length which solved the problem for me.

Jawbreakers worked for me on the Tectal Spin I tried. I’m upper end of M/L too.

Just to add my road helmet is now an Octal, Jawbreakers fitting fine with that too.

Tectal Race and Octal user here too.

My jawbreakers don’t fit the Tectal (well, they do - bit I find that they’re too close to the front rim, so rattle) so I use Rad 8 505s.

Jawbreakers work well with the Octal for me.

M/L in both

Oakley Jawbones work for me, but I wonder if it depends on how you've got the height/ tilt adjusted?
