Big Face Help

[SweetBabyCheesus]

I know there are a lot of threads on this but I'm looking at a couple of newer pairs of glasses.

I have a tried a ton of Frames. Some fit good some don't. My go to's (Big Tacos) are showing their age and need to be replaced.

My favorite frame I've ever owned is the OG Dispatch, comfortable, fits my face well. Down side? I've worn them twice, because the lens barely blocks any light out and looks stupid with how transparent it is. I wear prescriptions as Contacts aren't an option for me so unfortunately the best fitting glasses I've ever owned, never get worn. I wish I could get new script lenses for these.


So far I've tried the Sliver XL's (my current Daily) and the Jupiter Carbons. They are close but just not the same as the dispatch.


So next up.

Holbrook Metals &
Crossrange XL's


Any insight on these? Size, fit? I do have an Oakley store near by but they don't have the metals or XL in stock.

Can you get Turbines in RX?

I can but those seem shorter temple to temple than any of the other glasses I've asked about.

They will fit around the same as the Big Taco if I remember right. @LeQ ??

 

[SweetBabyCheesus]

You might be right. I thought they seemed narrow when I saw them in person. Should have tried them on.

They are a larger frame. Could be a little larger than the Taco but I can't remember for sure.

The Turbine fits more closer to a Fuel Cell than a Big Taco, IMO.

Holbrook Metals will not fit the same as the Tacos. They are nearly identical in fit to the Holbrook.

Crossrange XL should do the trick. I tried the regular version and they worked fine on this head.

What kind of Oakley store does not stock all the new stuff? Is that a Vault you visited?

Yeah they just didn't have any at the time and it's not a short drive so I haven't been back.

I never cared for the regular Holbrooks so I'm not sure how they fit. Thanks for the advice, I'll try and track down a dealer that has the Crossrange in stock.

You may want to check out the new Double Edge...they're bigger than the Turbines I believe.
