Smith sunglasses

Does anyone have any of the Smith sunnies? Wondering how folks like them and how they fit a smaller face.
Specifically looking at the Parallel and Pivlock V90s.
TIA!

Mum races in the Pivlock V2 (now Arena) and the Parallel. Loves them. My girlfriend too (Parallel). Top options, both of them - choose depending on use. The Parallel are a bit more less "shouty" and work great for running, but the wider coverage of the Pivlocks is superior for riding and triathlons.

I have the Ryders VIA Photochromatic, they are similar to the Pivlocks but cheaper. I previously had a pair of Smith Sunglasses but I found that after about a year of use the lens would get bubbles in them (between the plastic lens and thin sheet of shaded plastic to give the tint. I went through two pair of Smith's with the same result. Nice thing about the Ryders VIA is that there isn't a frame across the top so if you are riding in aero your field of vision is not blocked I love mine.
