    Hey guys. I know that there is a post almost once a month on what sunglasses are the best. I do love reading about them and I actually headed out to my local sunglass hot spots to try some on. They all looked good, but the fit was a bit tight- both on the temples and right above the cheek bones. I tried on every pair at Gander Mountain and also Scheels. I was wondering if anyone out there with a ginormous melon has any advice for a pair of sunglass that would basically fit on a basketball. My hat size is a 7 3/4- just for a perspective. Any help would be appreciated. I have some tax money and it’s burning a hole in my pocket!

    Try Smith. They have many sizes I cannot wear becasue they are too big. I still have one pair I call goggles.
    Can’t hurt to call a service rep and ask. 208.726.4477

    Check out an optomitrist office, they might sell some sunglasses with flexable temples. I have no idea how they price out, just a thought.

    Steve, Marshal Yanda has a pretty big noggin, and he really likes the smith brand! I wear 7 1/2 to 7 5/8 fitted baseball hats, and I like costas…

    I am actually looking for a new pair of costas right now…you could call down to Dean at Evert’s resort and see what he has in stock for the costas!

    I have a size 62 bow for my frame.. I have been trying for a year to find sunglasses that will fit over these things.. its a mess..

    I went to Cabelas and they supposedly had “large size ” sunglasses. right.. Large size if you are a cabbage patch doll.

    HELP< HELP, HELP…

    the only positive thing is that I must have a big brain that fits inside this melon..

    I got the same size head, but everybodys face is shaped a little different! Try out the Costa Brine and Man-o-war’s. I wear both and like them. My brother and dad both have bigger heads than me and wear Fatheadz. I think they get them online.
