I just lost my cheap sunglasses that I've had for about 4 years.

I'm looking for suggestions because it's hard for me to find glasses that fit- I have a skinny face.

I can't have polarized lenses, and am looking at $100 or so.

How can I tell what would work out with my small head by looking at glasses on the internet?

Links would be nice.

Anything else, and well...




In all seriousness, just go get some from your local cvs/Walgreens

I've had no luck at cvs, etc.

My last pair was from a Sportsman's Warehouse, but they don't carry the style I had anymore.

All I buy are cheap sunglasses.  I buy the dark tinted safety glasses from Menard's, Home Depot, the lumber yard etc.  $10 or less,I buy 3 pairs, one for each vehicle.  They are durable and provide a good level of protection wiht good coverage on the sides etc.

I have a pair of Oakley Fives Squared.  I think the colors are Rootbeer frame and bronze lenses.  I like them.

I've got ESS Rollbars and love them, quick interchange ballistic lenses so I use them as sunglasses and shooting glasses and can switch between clear and tinted depending on the conditions when shooting

Every time a thread likes this comes up it's an Oakley circle jerk, but the fact is Maui Jim has the best lenses in the industry plus isn't owned my Luxotica. Unfortunately, they start at well over your $100 budget and they're all polarized.

They make small frame safety glasses. $4 and you're good to go.

Go to Academy.  $5.99.  The arms are tight and springy.

Maui Jims, they have a fit section on their website and as a filter for selecting a pair. Pricey but worth it.

Have you tried looking at the Asian frame glasses- some of them are designed for narrower faces although you may need an adjustable nose bridge to tighten them up since often they are for flatter noses.  

<---- Maui Jim fan although I've got an older pair of Bolles that I like too.  I had a nice pair of Costas until they decided it was hot and they wanted a swim.

Maui Jim really is the answer...for twice the price.

Your guess is apparently correct, too bad for him.

I went with the quarter jacket.  They fit my face very well.

Thanks for the advice.

For me, they give me headaches normally. But I'm trying out some Oakley Prizm lenses and not a headache yet

Was USMC, not retired, so I'm not eligible.

The quarter jackets are fine, they fit great.

I guess my ears aren't even, anyone know how to adjust/bend the earpiece without snapping it in two?

I agree that Maui Jim lenses are superb but I didn't have very good luck with their frame durability and they are definitely expensive.




My Oakleys have been very durable and they're priced right.  My most recent pair was $60 at an Oakley outlet store and I've worn them every day for 4 years with no problems.




I've owned RayBan, Costa Del Mar, Oakley, American Optical, and Maui Jim.  I like Oakley the best.

Just used a hair dryer to bend them a bit, now all is well.
