I currently have Oakley Jawbreakers which are great but have always been a bit small (I can see the frame), what do the forum recommend for my big head?

I thought about Oakley Sutro's but wanted to see if there were any other good options or first hand experience recommendations.

Thanks for any info.

I really like Melon Optics Kingpins with the Vantage lens

M-Frames here. The frames are 25yrs old or so - lenses are of assorted ages and origins... they work for me and my challenging bonce

I've found Melon Alleycats really good, but my current faves are Dirtlej Photchromics, which were a half price bargain - and I know they're good, because i don't find myself taking them off, which in turn means I haven't lost them yet (I'm down two pairs of Alleycats)

I've got some Oakley Radar EV's that are huge. They might work. They're certainly much bigger than my aged Jawbone's.

I have a set of those too, but barely wear them after getting the Kingpins

At the more budget end of the market. I use APE Optics Vega Evo glasses from Victory Chimp. I have a head the size of a space hopper (ish 🤭) and they fit me fine.  They also sit just far enough off my face that they never mist up. They are excellent quality glasses too that come with loads of lenses and a prescription insert. I also bought an extra photochromic lens for mine.

I’m an XL helmet and wear Sutros are fine. Not really for riding as I sweat onto anything that goes near my head.
