need replacement sunglasses

[Ruzo]

Ok Im a lil bit crushed , I have been buying Wiley X Slyde sunglasses for years now . I need a new pair but they no longer make them .

So does any one have any recommendation for sunglasses for a guy with a huge head ?

Requirements are:

Polarized for fishing (glare reduction)
Full frames around the lenses I don't like the ones with the half frame .
Need to have a large frame , they give me a headache of they are too tight .
Prefer black frames and the blue mirror lenses so people cant see what I'm looking at when talking to me

Hey Dude, they have a sh!t ton of Wiley's at Continental Arms. Just bought a new pair of Zaks there.

I'll admit that I'm a bit of a sunglasses whore. I like my Oakley Flak Jackets for active stuff like water sports, etc. Maui Jim makes nice sunglasses and Raybans are nice if you get the grey polarized lenses. My favorite sunglasses, though, are Persol 649's.

Oh...I wear Randolph Engineering Ranger "Edge" shooting glasses. Worth every penny.

I bought a pair of Bolle's on my honeymoon 14 years ago. They are great. I will be broken hearted when they break. I have to try sunglasses on before I buy them. I am very picky about them.

I get the cheap berkley or Penn fishing glasses at walmart...if I break, scratch or lose them its only about $20 loss...

I had a pair of Maui Jim's that broke, they were nice. Had a few pair of Bolles, just got these Bolle Del-Mar.

They have a spring tension that keeps them from falling off. Come in a few different lens types.

Also have these 7-Eyes in 24:7 Copper NXT Lenses for shooting and low light.

Never had those, but I have never had any issues with my Bolles that were not caused by my own stupidity.

Mine are a few years old now and the earpieces are all different than what I have. Mine look closest to the Reno's, black lenses. I got them at Sunglass Hut in Harford Mall. I can tell you that I wear a 7 5/8 hat, so I've got a big Charlie Brown melon too.

I have costas and maui jims, IMO they are very similar in quality. If you go the costa route, definately get the 580 glass lenses especially if you spend time on the water. Angler's in Annapolis has one of the largest selections of Costas I've seen short of TW's in Nags Head.

I have Costa Delmars and about a year ago I bought a pair of UA from bass pro for driving. UA very nice and use zeiss lens.

You will notice a great improvement in you vision and depth perseption with quality glasses. just saying.

I have had 2 pairs of Bolle sunglasses both were supposed to fit med to large and fit great. Their frames have some flex built into them so it isn't like the arms are flexing. Not sure if you remember from meeting but I have a huge mellon as well. If you want to try the Bolle hit up a sunglass hut they usually have a good selection of Bolle. Since I have a similar issue I will rarely order sunglasses online.
