Have been reading posts on golf sunglasses which have been very informative, but I'm worried about fit issues. I have a relatively large face and head. Tried on a pair of Oakley flak jackets and they squeezed the sides of my head. Can anyone recommend a brand/style that might come close to fitting my big head? TIA

Try sunglasses in Asian Fit from Oakley.

I suffer from the same fate. Oakleys just don't fit my face or melon.
That's why I wear Maui Jims. Go to their website and you can actually find frame sizes.
I currently wear the 407-02 model and my hat size is 7 1/2.
Good luck.

http://oakley.com/search/asian+fitI though the Asian Fits were for smaller faces??
I personally went with the Oakley Twitches as my head is tall and deep (nose ---> back). The twitches were the only ones that felt comfortable to me.

I've had great luck with Native Eyewear. I wear a size 7 3/4 hat and wear their Low Ryders. Very comfortable, plus they're polarized.

I have a few pairs of Bolle kickers and they are super light, polarized and fit my big face.

Definitely made to fit the bigger head. One of the very few sunglasses that fit me comfortably all day.

These are great for larger 'noggins":
http://www.mauijim.com/webapp/wcs/stores/s..._10105_N__2_2_1The rose tint is the best for golf. These are extremely light and stay put due to the flex frame. The optics of the evolution lenses are second to none - all the benefits of a glass lens with the weight of a poly lens!

I wear a 7 3/4 hat and recently got a pair of Adidas called T-sight large. They are on the Adidas web site. They have 2 way adjustable nose piece and 3 way adjustable ear pieces so you can adjust for a custom fit. They have "golf specific" lenses which allow you to read the contours of the greens without removing the glasses.
Check "em out.
