If youre having light leaking from the side of your goggles, heres a fix for you.    Cut some 10mm thick foam as shown and slide into the sides,   you can even use the foam from the packaging of the goggles to make it.

Ive included some shots and a DXF file if you want to laser cut your own or you could just use scissors as it wont be seen when fitted.

Interesting solution. I've seen a few people wobble the rubber a bit after putting Goggles 3 on their face and they say that fixes the light leaks, did you maybe try that?

Yes I tries all sorts with the rubber but I still got very subtle light leaking from one side,

Mine came with the foam which I jut cut down to fit inside the rubber curtain to afford further protecion. Any light leakage fixed by doing what fichek advises.

I must have a slightly deformed head then.

I must confess to cheating a little on this one,   to get the right curve I traced around the rubber and then scanner in the drawing and traced the cad over the top.

That's not cheating, that's just working smarter.

Its actually a bit of an odd curve more of an ellipse thats been cut than a arc.
