Okay Gibston good for running and cycling?

Are Gibston sunglasses fine for cycling and running? Or they would get foggy?

Since I have dry eyes I have been recommended wrap around glasses to avoid wind effect on the eyes. Unfortunately no contact lenses. Oakley Gibston really fits good and cover the eyes, but I’m scared that since not that much air flow is possible due to their coverage, when running or cycling they will get some “foggy” inside. Any experience using them while doing these sports?

Thanks.

I wouldn't use them for that. Better go with some of the sports frames (Radar family, Jawbreaker, Sutro Lite, etc.)

My wife and daughter wear the Gibstons. I like the look and feel however depending on how close to your face they will be you pointed out the big issue. For me they seal off and dont breath which results in fogging up. My wife doesnt have the same issue or daughter because their face shapes are smaller. So take that into consideration.

My wife wears them out doing yard work, inspecting 18 wheelers for work or her scalpels, and other activities including in the pool. My daughter uses them for casual wear.
 
They do fit well in a motorcycle helmet I will say as my wife and I have both used them for that before.
