Default Eyewear for a big head

Not sure if this has been discussed previously, but I have a HUGE melon (7 3/4) and I cannot find any shades that will work. I wear a pair of Oakley's now and its tolerable when I use the windsheild. Ive tried Panoptyx, Wiley X, etc, all too small.Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

I have a similar size head and the Panoptix fit me great. Maybe you're looking at the wrong model.
They have some glasses that are made for larger heads. I have the Raptors.

I have the same size head and I use a pair of Wiley-X SG1 (if you haven't tried these already). They were a "perfect" fit new...but tend to get loose over time.

big head here to, think Fred Flintstone!

Anyway, the Bobster Fatboy and Roadmaster models fit me very well. They also are photochromic so they change from light to dark. Not bad and the price is right. check out ebay for under $40

Have you looked in a Mr. Potato Head game?

according to my kids, my wife doesn't need any goggles, shades or windshield, since she has her eyes in the back of her head. course, i sometime agree with them since it is getting harder all the time to smuggle extra chrome goodies into the garage.

They are both: http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c..._1952_62459037

There were also issued to the troops going to Middle East I believe. My brother is in the Air Force and he got a pair each time he was deployed to the "sand box".
