too large; foam is irritating to skin; does make humid chamber
I did not purchase this product from dryeyeshop but I thought it would help others to hear a review. I recently purchased these goggles and I was surprised with how large they were on my face, since I have a large head/face. They kept slipping off. If I pushed them onto my face they made a nice, humid chamber, but unfortunately the fit prevented that from maintaining.
The other thing is that the foam padding was rather irritating on my skin. I don't know if the foam has latex in it or not, but that might be a factor for some people.
Finally, they did fog up. It may be because I was adding eye drops prior to putting them on, which is not typical use since these are onion goggles, but if one wants to use them to watch TV or something, eye drops definitely causes visibility to be very low.

This is super useful feedback - thanks for sharing! My take on the frame fit: Sometimes it's about the width of the frame, and sometimes it's about 'face shape' as well since the eyecup is very deep. It's challenging to get a really well fitting pair (hence the high end brand 7Eye for example which has so many different framestyles) and Onion Goggles are a moderately versatile one but there's a lot of people that they truly don't fit. Re skin irritation: my experience is that the open celled foams in general can be irritating if worn very long. There are goggles with a closed cell (smooth) foam that I can wear much longer. Anyway thanks again!
