Sunglasses for guys with really big heads
 
OK, my head is really, really big. Every baseball team I ever played on, not once did a helmet fit comfortably. When I buy fitted hats, I need 7.75 inches. 7.5 id a bit too snug.

So I have a lot of trouble finding sport sunglasses that fit. I have no interest in pretty boy sunglasses.

Anyone else out there a walking candy apple like I am? Any suggestions?

niko 05-22-2012 07:05 PM

costa hammerheads or wave killers.

No comment.

Depending on your budget check online. Many better makers have specific lines that are offered with wider temples.

Same problem here. I have the Costa del Mar Sailfish. Very comfortable. I also have a pair of Maui Jim Aviators. Also good for big squashes.

Always fished with costa's and recently won a pair of maui's. The Costa's are far superior.

sierratradingpost.com has a bunch of costas on sale. I got a nice pair with glass lenses for about $80 ( less than 1/2 price). Some with polycarb lenses were in the $40-50 range.

And a note for anyone looking to buy there, you can nearly always get 30% off of the STP price with a coupon. Sign up for the deal flyer...

Frequently they'll do 30% + free shipping and every some times 35% and free ship.

You can order Costa's and Maui Jim's in prescription lenses.

leo33 05-29-2012 03:12 PM

I own the Costa Harpoons and they fit great.

I also need the 7.75 fitted hats. Not an easy find.

MarshCappa 05-29-2012 03:33 PM

Do you know if they were 480 or the 580?Either way that is a steal....

I have the Harpoons myself with the 580P,I bought-em last year. The clarity is insane,blues greens really burst out but as for the fit,it's so so.I dunno maybe my squash is too small for them:)

Jim I am a 7 5/8 after a very close haircut. Its a 7 3/4 after four or five weeks of letting it grow. I have baby pictures that I hide so no one can see how big the mellon is.

Thanks for the tip Zimmy, I bought a pair at the best price I saw.

Jim, what pair did you settle on?

I was looking at the Pescador model, but they're bifocal. ??? I don't wear prescription glasses and really don't want anything that's going to impair my vision in the long run. Am I stoopid for being concerned about that? :confused:

Believe it or not, I've used "BluBlockers" for years, no complaints here (Viper body style). They cut through the water pretty good, and cost me $5 @CVS. I don't need to make a fashion statement anymore, so they fit their purpose. However, I can' find them at that cost anymore...online they're much more costly now (close to these Costa Del Mars)...
