X-squared for larger face?

[Jiminy]

I'm new here, and have found some older threads with similar questions, but a lot of the photographs no longer load, so I'm asking again

I'm a fairly large guy, 195cm 120kg+ and have a large head, (I wear a 58-59cm hat) and I seriously want a pair of X-Metals. I like the look of the XS, I own antix, badman, and have owned flak jacket previously and these all look ok. I also like the fact that the XS nose ridge can be home serviced/adjusted due to the screws.
Is the XS going to look ok, or do I need to consider other models; romeo1, xx etc?
I have a friend with Juilets and they look a bit small and narrow.

I'm no expert but from what I have read and heard R1 and XS have the bigger coverage and are ideal for larger heads/orbitals.

This is a correct assessment. Also look here.

Cool thanks guys. I've done a lot of looking but somehow missed that thread.

Thanks. For the link supersharp. So I think I'm looking for x squared. In my opinion they appear to have a similar shape to the badman I already have, so they should be good.
Can't wait to find "real"
X-metals!

I don't think you will be disappointed.

If a Badman fits you well, then an XS should be more than fine. It may feel initially a little tighter with the lack of spring hinges, but facial fitment and coverage are very similar. The arms being shorter and also thinner than a badman may add to the tighter feel at first, plus a new frame will have little flex at the bridge to begin with. XX would also be a good option for yourself and will feel larger than an XS, as will an R1.

Now I just need to find a nice pair, the badman can sometimes feel slightly loose with the spring hinges so a snug fit may well be perfect. I'd love original lenses but I think after reading all the custom cut threads that these will do, so I will look for a nice pair of frames I can wear and get some lenses cut once I have been on the forum long enough.
I think my biggest worry is i accidentally get a fake (so reading those threads too), I'd hate to pay the sort of money some people ask just to get duped.

Well, you can wait until you meet requirements or buy a premium membership,then you can just buy them here without worry.

I have helmet size 57-58, and regular Juliets fit my head OK, XS is a little bit wider, but not too much imo.
