Big Head Sunglasses - 165mm Wide Fit
Frame width is what ultimately determines whether sunglasses truly fit larger head sizes. This model measures a full 165mm across the front, making it meaningfully wider than many frames marketed as XL or extra-large.
At Faded Days, designing sunglasses for wider faces has been our focus since 2019. The 165mm Sport was built from the ground up with that goal in mind, combining a true wide fit with a wraparound sport design that works just as well for everyday wear as it does for outdoor activities.
Each pair includes polarized lenses to reduce glare and improve visual clarity whether you're driving, spending time on the water, or simply enjoying a long day outside.
Designed for Comfort, Coverage, and Performance
- 165mm wide fit - Built specifically for wider head sizes that struggle with standard frames.
- Wraparound design - Helps block side glare and wind for better coverage.
- Polarized lenses - Reduce glare and improve visibility, especially around water.
- Spring hinges - Add flexibility so the frame can move more comfortably with you.
- Lightweight yet durable construction - Designed for long days outdoors.
- Microfiber pouch included - Keeps your sunglasses protected when not in use.
A Favorite for Fishing and Outdoor Use
The combination of polarized lenses and a wraparound frame makes this model especially popular for time on the water. Many customers choose the 165mm Sport as fishing sunglasses for large heads, where glare reduction and a secure fit can make a noticeable difference.
Whether you're casting a line, driving into the sun, hiking a trail, or simply enjoying the outdoors, the wider frame provides the comfort many people have struggled to find in standard sunglasses.
Fast Shipping from a Small Business
Most orders placed before 1:30 PM ship the same day. Orders placed later typically ship the next business day, so you will not have to wait long to experience the difference a properly fitting pair of sunglasses can make.
Sunglasses Designed for Wider Faces
Faded Days launched in 2012, and since 2019 we have focused specifically on designing sunglasses for people who need more room across the face. Rather than adapting standard frames, our designs start with width as the priority so the fit feels right from the moment you put them on. If we have peaked your interest, our sunglasses for big heads collection has multiple styles to choose from.
Big Head Sunglasses That Finally Fit
Designed with a true 165mm width so the frame sits naturally across wider faces. For many customers, it’s the first time sunglasses have felt right the moment they put them on.

How a Proper Wide Sunglasses Fit Should Look
Most frames labeled XL still follow standard proportions, which is why they often feel tight across wider faces. A true wide frame allows the sunglasses to sit naturally without pressure at the temples or stretching across the front.
Very, very fast shipping
It might’ve taken you a lifetime to find sunglasses that actually fit — but we’re not about to make you wait a second longer. Most orders placed before 1.30pm ship the very same day, and everything goes out within 24 weekday hours. No third-party warehouses, no fulfillment centers — just us, working like your eyes depended on it, because we know how long you’ve already waited.

I originally ordered the XXL Sport glasses, only to find that my huge noggin was perhaps not as big/wide as I had thought. Ben was great in getting my order exchanged for an XL pair and I love them. Plan to buy another XL, this time in the original style
Thank you so much for sharing your experience—it’s great to hear that the XL Sport glasses ended up being the perfect fit for your noggin. I’m so glad we could help with the exchange and that you’re already planning on another pair. I have to say, the photo you included is incredible—you wear them so well that I’d love to seriously offer you the opportunity to model for us. If that’s something you’d be interested in, please reach out. Thank you again for trusting Faded Days. Your support truly means the world to me.

Just ordered my third pair. First ones broke in-between the lenses. Looked like it was a fault in the mold but they didn't break until after a year or so. Second pair fell off the dash & I stepped on the them getting out the car but after 2 years having them. Wish they came with a solid case. Nevertheless these shades fit my head sooo well. Can't find 165 mm anywhere else. Trust me, I've looked. Can't wait to receive my third pair
Thank you so much for your continued support and for sharing your experience. We're really glad to hear that our sunglasses fit your head so well, especially since finding the right size can be a challenge. We appreciate your feedback about the solid case. You can find a hard case on our site here https://fadeddayssunglasses.com/products/hard-sunglasses-case-extra-large
It's wonderful to know that you've chosen us for your third pair. Thank you for sticking with Faded Days, and we hope you enjoy your new sunglasses. If there's anything else we can do for you, please let us know.

I may have the biggest head. My hat side is 8 1/18 and these glasses are perfect. Not tight in any way they fit me perfectly. If some how you have a bigger head then me don’t worry they will fit. This is my 4th pair.
Hey there, Big League! Firstly, thanks for choosing us not once, but four times! That's a home run in our book! Sounds like your head's so big it could have its own weather system, and yet, our glasses are a perfect fit! You're proof that our eyewear is ready to step up to the plate, no matter the size of the game. So, thank you for your grand-slam review and for being a valuable part of our team. Keep turning heads, Ben

This is my 2nd pair of Faded Days 165 sunglasses. My last pair broke, and I purchased the sport frames this time - LOVE IT! If you've got a BIG HEAD and have struggled with small wimpy "one size fits all" glasses - you NEED these glasses!

Finally found some glasses that for a man with a bighead

I have never purchased sun glasses that fit so good!

great fit

I’ve never put on a pair of glasses that I didn’t have to filter out the frames of the glasses. The 165mm *might be slightly more than I needed, however the fit great, they don’t come off, and they don’t feel like I’m wearing glasses. Awesome company and a great price.

Fit perfectly! Great quality too

I ordered the wrong glasses and requested to exchange for the pair that i wanted and the process was very simple and easy.
I love my 165mm wide fit glasses, they fit my head and i will be ordering for them again.

I love the 165mm (no less) frame!!!! Finally found glasses that fit my wide face. I wish you could make rectangular frames though. Black polarized rectangular frames especially on the top frame. Straight across your face with no curve. Other than that, I’m rockin’ ‘em! Thank you!!!

I’ve worn polarized lenses for 25 years. These lenses caused tension headaches. They have lots of odd marketing strategies but make the return process overly complicated and will deduct the amount they credit you for everything under the sun. I will never ever buy from them again. Not customer service that I look for. Design also makes the arms rest in the surface of the glasses which will likely scratch quite quickly. Something makes me think they will censor this review and not post it to their site.
As a small business, we’re happy to publish all reviews, good or bad, so there’s no need to worry about this being censored.
I do want to address the return process comment. You’re actually the first person to describe it as overly complicated, so I’d genuinely like to understand where that came from. Our process is simple: return the sunglasses in as-new condition, include your order details, and ship them back within 10 days. Once received, we process the refund within a few days, minus a $4.95 shipping fee. I've tried to make it as simple as possible.
So I’ll ask directly, which part of that felt complicated to you? If there’s something we can improve, I’d like to know.

I'm really impressed with the product, fits my face perfectly.

Excellent quality and a perfect fit—so good I just ordered a second pair!
That means a lot — thank you. We put a lot into making sure every pair feels right, so hearing you’ve already gone back for a second is the best feedback we could ask for.

My giant head is a problem. I don’t wear hats. Prescription glasses are few and far between. Sunglasses? Forget about it—until now. Faded Days caters to craniums of size and have earned a customer for life. No longer will the sun remind me of its daunting imposition. When you have sunglasses that are built well and look good, with lenses that look their job, no longer shall large headed individuals be forced to squint and shield their eyes by hand. Would recommend.
Thank you for this. It genuinely made my day. I know how frustrating it can be when nothing ever fits quite right, so hearing that Faded Days has changed that for you means more than I can say. No one should have to squint and shield their eyes by hand just because their head’s a little bigger than average. That’s exactly why I started this.
Since you mentioned how tough prescription glasses have been to find, we now offer a full line of prescription eyewear designed specifically for large heads. You can find it under the Prescription section on our site.
And if hats have been a challenge too, we make big head hats as well.
Truly appreciate you being part of the Faded Days family.

163-165 is my comfort zone. These fit great on my face. The back tips push in behind my ears, but that should loosen up as I break them in.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m glad to hear the frame width feels right in that 163–165 range—it’s such an important detail for comfort. The snugness behind the ears can ease up a bit with wear, but if it doesn't, I’m always here to help figure out a fix. I really appreciate you giving Faded Days a try and trusting us with your fit.

Perfect fitting 👍
Thank you for sharing this—it brought a smile to my face. Sounds like we’ve found the perfect fit for that XL tête française. I'm really glad the frames are working out for you. Merci for being part of the Faded Days family.

I’m so thankful for finding Faded Days and your awesome sunglasses. I have been wearing Oakleys for years and always struggle to find a pair that fits me well. Now I have finally found the “perfect “ Pritchard and style. Getting ready to order another pair to keep in my other vehicle. Keep up the great work it is much appreciated!
Thank you so much for sharing this. It really means a lot to hear that after years of struggling with fit, you’ve finally found something that feels right. I have a lot of respect for Oakley—they make a solid product—but I know they’re not built with larger heads in mind. I’m grateful we could offer you a pair that truly fits and feels good. Knowing you're already thinking about a second pair makes all the effort worth it. I appreciate your support more than I can say, and I’m glad to have you as part of the Faded Days family.

Our 2nd purchase of glasses, didn’t disappoint! My nephew loves them, appreciate XXL size & comfort! No pinching nosepiece & ears! Hawaiian Approved!! Mahalo mahalo
Thank you so much for the kind words and for coming back for a second pair—it really means a lot. I’m so glad to hear your nephew is loving the fit and comfort, especially with no pinching at the nose or ears. We have a bunch of customers in Hawaii, and I don’t know what it is, but the thought of our sunglasses out there soaking up that island life genuinely excites me. Maybe it’s the sunshine, maybe it’s the spirit—either way, I’m grateful. Mahalo for the support—it truly means the world.

I'm a person with a BIG head (big body too!). In the past sunglasses always looked pretty silly on me, like I had borrowed some children's glasses or something like that. Faded Days are the real deal and fit my 8.0" hat size like a charm. I couldn't be happier and as long as these folks are in business, they will have my business.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. It means the world to know that our sunglasses fit your 8.0' hat size comfortably and look great too. Hearing that past sunglasses felt like children’s glasses really hits home—it’s exactly why I started Faded Days, to make sure no one has to feel that way. Your support and loyalty truly mean everything, and I’m so grateful to have you as part of the Faded Days family. As long as we’re around, we’ll be here to make sure you’re covered.

These XXL’s are the only thing I have found that fit my giant dome! Been a customer for years.
Thank you for your support over the years and for sharing your experience. It means so much to know that our XXL sunglasses are the perfect fit for your giant dome. Designing glasses for those who’ve struggled to find the right fit has always been my passion, and your loyalty makes it all worthwhile. I’m grateful to have you as part of the Faded Days family.

Frequently Asked Questions
What head size are these designed for?
These sunglasses are designed for people who need more width across the face than standard frames provide. With a true 165mm frame width, they work best for customers who often find regular or XL sunglasses too narrow.
What does 165mm mean in sunglasses?
165mm refers to the full width of the frame measured across the front. That width determines how comfortably the sunglasses sit on wider faces without squeezing at the temples.
Are these polarized?
Yes. Every pair includes polarized lenses that reduce glare and improve visual clarity, especially when driving, fishing, or spending time outdoors.
Are these good fishing sunglasses?
Yes. Many customers wear this model as fishing sunglasses because polarized lenses help cut glare off the water while the curved sport design provides secure coverage and stability.
Are these full wraparound sunglasses?
Not completely. The 165mm Sport has a curved sport design that provides more coverage than a flat frame, but it is not an extreme wraparound style.
Will these fit if other XL sunglasses have been too small?
They will not be too small. At a full 165mm width, these are among the widest sunglasses available. Many customers who struggled with tight XL frames immediately notice the extra space.
Do these have spring hinges?
Yes. Spring hinges allow the arms to flex slightly outward, helping the frame sit comfortably without creating pressure at the sides of the head.
How quickly do they ship?
Most orders placed before 1:30 PM ET ship the same day. Orders placed later typically ship the next business day.
165mm Sport Big Head Sunglasses Built for Real Width
Most sunglasses are designed around average head measurements. That works well for many people, but it creates a frustrating experience for anyone who consistently finds standard frames too narrow across the temples. The 165mm Sport model exists to solve that exact problem.
At a full 165mm frame width, these big head sunglasses provide noticeably more horizontal space than most frames marketed as XL or wide fit. That difference may only be a few millimeters on paper, but on the face it can completely change how sunglasses sit and feel. Instead of pressing at the temples or flexing outward, the frame rests naturally and maintains its intended shape.
The sport design adds a gentle curvature that improves side coverage without becoming an aggressive wraparound style. This balance allows the sunglasses to remain comfortable for everyday use while still offering the kind of coverage people often look for when spending time outdoors.
Polarized Sport Sunglasses Designed for Outdoor Use
Every pair includes polarized lenses with full UV protection. Polarization helps reduce reflected glare, which is especially noticeable when driving, spending time near water, or being outside for long periods of time.
Because of that combination of width, lens clarity, and curved coverage, many customers choose this frame as their big head fishing sunglasses or general outdoor pair. The polarized lenses help cut glare off the water while the wider frame prevents the squeezed feeling that often happens with standard sport sunglasses.
Spring hinges add additional flexibility at the temples, allowing the frame to adapt slightly to different head shapes without creating pressure points.
Why Frame Width Matters More Than Labels
In the eyewear industry, terms like XL, wide fit, and oversized are often used loosely. Two frames with the same label can be very different once you look at the actual measurements.
Frame width is one of the clearest indicators of how sunglasses will fit. Many sunglasses described as wide or oversized measure somewhere around 145–150mm across the front. For someone with a larger head size, that can still feel restrictive.
By contrast, a true 165mm frame width provides significantly more room across the temples, which helps the sunglasses sit in proper alignment instead of being forced outward.
Designed by Specialists in Big Head Sunglasses
Faded Days has been designing sunglasses since 2012. In 2019 the brand shifted its focus toward creating eyewear specifically for customers who need larger frame sizes.
That specialization has allowed the design process to start with width as the priority rather than treating it as an afterthought. Instead of adapting standard molds, frames are developed with wider proportions from the beginning.
For customers who have repeatedly tried sunglasses labeled “XL” or “wide” without success, the difference is often immediately noticeable once they try a frame built at the correct width.
