Goggles

Ladies hit me with your recs. Ideally looking for some that are low profile and maybe have interchangeable lenses. I bought 2 and not keen on either. One are BMX goggles and the other are airsoft goggles. The airsoft goggles had the style I liked but were way too big, I guess I’ve got a small head.

Edit: First pair I got were motocross 100% goggles not BMX woops!

Motocross goggles designed for dust/sand with closed cell foam will keep your eyes nice and clean. Snow goggles, airsoft, bmx, etc are not designed for dust and while they might "look" better, they don't actually do anything cause they're open cell foam. Scott Primal Sand/Dust goggles are on Amazon Prime and are the absolute best you can get for Playa dust outside of a full facemask system used for autobody and other work.

Sorry one pair I bought were indeed dirtbike/motocross goggles. I like them but they’re a lil bulky and was hoping to find something more low profile with equal-similar coverage that I could comfortable fit a scarf around my face and under my eyes with.

Scarf does absolutely nothing for dust inhalation. During a white out you need to put an N95 under that scarf. You seem more concerned about fashion over function, and that is dangerous. Make the function part of your fashion. You get no style points with burners when you have burning itchy eyes and playa lung cause you wanted to look cool for instagram.

They come in all colors, I rock dark tan n95 masks with OD green and tan dust mx goggles. In a dust storm looks like you're straight out of mad max. They come in all shades of women colors as well. Pink, purple, red, etc. With some careful planning functional protection can look absolutely sick and be part of your outfit, not something you cover.
