Looking for a new pair of shades, any recommendations welcome. I've got a pretty wide face and normally wear frogskins, but if you've got a brand you like let me know!
 
Smith Lowdows are tighhht. I have a huge head and the regular model fits my face fine. The smith lowdown XL's look like big soccer-mom diva glasses though, don't get those.

I love my lowdowns...they are some quality shades
 
I would wholly recommend Tens.

They have a frame like the frogskins if you're looking for a frogskin replacement. Which is only $75.

They use camera lens quality lenses which are made of a scratch resistant material instead of just a coating and have a five barrel hinge so they're super durable.

The lens colour complements the warm yellow of the sun while blocking the brightness instead of blocking while creating a cold dark look.

Theyve plenty of photos showing what its like through their lenses on theit insta

Spy happy lenses. I have the Fold model with the blue mirror lens. The happy lens hype is real, they pulled me out of a bad mushroom trip once
 
Smith Outlier XL's are hands down my favorite glasses I've worn, Especially with he Blue Chromapop lens. They work well in a huge range of light conditions (Worked on open water as a lifeguard) They literally worked In fog and flat light to help make Colors pop and cut through the reflection of the clouds on the water as well as Worked keeping my eyes fully open and comfortable for 7 hour shifts in the brightest bluebird days. The lenses cover a huge area but the shape keeps them from looking goofy, and the temple and nose pads keep them locked in everything from Looking down to Mountain biking

All pair of Oakleys i bought a couple years back had a joint crack inexplicably and that is what led me to Native, send in the glasses and 30 bucks and they send you a replacement..little to no questions asked
 
just be warned, you may be pulled over for going too fast in these bad boys

THIS. Costa make the nicest sunnies! I have a pretty wide face, and I bought the Hamlins. Plenty big.

Also I have two pairs of Smith Mt. Shastas for my daily glasses. They look small on the site, but fit so niceeeee!

yeah smith is really hard to beat, I had a pair of Lowdowns with the chromapop lenses and they were BY FAR the best sunglasses Ive owned or worn
