sofarfrome Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I am looking to buy some high end polarized sun glasses. I have read reviews here and on many other sites. My problem is I have a large head and after going to Gander MTN they had NOTHING that would fit this melon. Finding "accurate" size information on line is not impossible but difficult to say the least. Anyone have a good suggestion as far as brand/model and where to find good sizing information? TIA, J Quote
Hubtech Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Wow, you must have quite the melon!!! I'll see if i can get my wife to bring home her Costa catalog and see what they've got for the big heads. Quote
RF813 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 This sounds weird, but my eyelashes rub the inside of most sunglasses, so finding a pair can be tricky....Best bet is to keep trying them on in person. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted June 23, 2014 Super User Posted June 23, 2014 I can't help you with sizing info, but I can recommend that Costa's are great sunglasses. 1 Quote
Mccallister25 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Most def. agree with Lou. Im of no help when it comes to sizing, but Costa Del Mar is (in my humble opinion) the best on the market. 1 Quote
ColdSVT Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Costa del mar Man O War fit some of the biggest melons. Check thier site it says what size the frames are for each style Quote
TNBassin' Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Big head? You want Oakley Batwolf sunglasses. I have a pair, and a big noggin, and they are perfect for fishing. Pricey though. I have no experience with Coastas, though I hear they are better. Horrible looking frames kept me from straying from Oakley though. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted June 23, 2014 Super User Posted June 23, 2014 Costa del mar Man O War fit some of the biggest melons. Check thier site it says what size the frames are for each style Those are the frames I have. Great glasses. I like that the side glare clips can be removed when you don't need them. Quote
sofarfrome Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 It appears the Man O War may be just what the doctor ordered. I was hoping for Smith Chief but these may work out better. Thanks. Quote
LMB KING Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Costa del mar. Their the best. Try them on store before buying, to get the right size and frame. Quote
Super User Montanaro Posted June 23, 2014 Super User Posted June 23, 2014 Oakley offshoot. Designed for big heads and blocking out sun. Polarized are 190 but I got mine as a gift and love them. Nothing worse than a headache from small sunglasses pinching your skull but having to keep them on to fish properly. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted June 24, 2014 Global Moderator Posted June 24, 2014 Costa Del Mar Fisch are the best thing I've found, and I've got a serious dome, like a size 8 hat big. 1 Quote
bassackwards12 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Costa Del Mar Fisch are the best thing I've found, and I've got a serious dome, like a size 8 hat big. X2 The Fisch model is some of the most comfortable glasses I have ever worn. Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted June 24, 2014 Super User Posted June 24, 2014 I have a big noggin too man... bought some costas a month ago and love them.... i will say the frames are actually a little bit heavier than i was hoping for, but with the lifetime warranty i'm sure they were protecting their interest.... can't go wrong with costas in my opinion Quote
BrokenBobber Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 Check out the Oakley fuel cell. I wear them and I too have a big "melon" Quote
