I have tried many for my big fat ugly head, have a pair of Spy Dirty Mo's (yeah, I'll admit they are even the Dale Jr. signature edition) that have been the best I have ever worn,will be getting a new pair when I see a deal on them. Also have a pair of Spy Admirals that look similar but don't block the wind as effectively,but still better than others I have worn.

I have quite a large head myself and absolutely love my costa reefton’s. They fit perfectly and never have any issues

I’ve been riding with Wiley X’s for many years and really like them.

Mine are the Zak model but I’m not sure if it’s still being made but I’ve been really happy with this model on my pretty big melon. There is a “try before you buy” program through a web site that looks pretty simple. I think the site is Sport RX.com Good luck!

I have a pair of ESS Rollbars. I took a fire road rock the size of my thumb full speed right in the lens. Not a scratch. I would've lost an eye without them.

Gargoyle Classics ride well enough. I've gone through several pairs, lead, brass, bugs, and punches. Saved my eyes many times over the years. Honest replacement and warranty policy.

The Rollbars are the heaviest duty but the Classics are the most comfortable for everyday. They are for big heads and I haven't lost either one to the wind.

Oakleys are junk.

Wiley X and Harley Wiley X are not for big heads.

WileyX lists what size heads they fit. Most people have the opposite problem - glasses designed for wider faces. Most WileyX are too wide for me.

I have a fat head, and have had both the Harley Tank or Harley Jet and they work well. Also, the Wiley X Titan are some giant glasses that were actually too big for me. For reference I wear an XXL helmet or a 7-5/8th New Era ball cap.

Also with the big noggin here, before I went to full face I used to wear the glasses with the foam padding on the inside of the frame. No watering, no pollen, no dust. Cheap as ****, break or loose em just grab some more. They probably make better quality ones as well. But very effective on the road.
