What To Look For in Nike Sunglasses for Big Heads
Wearing sunglasses that are too small for you is not only uncomfortable; it could throw off your athletic performance. Here are a few helpful tips about what to look for when finding the right sunglasses for your big dome.
Generous Sun Coverage
Wearing frames that are too narrow for your face won’t provide enough sun coverage and defeats the whole purpose of the sunglasses! If a pair of frames are too small for your face, sunlight will leak in from above and the sides, which could produce back glare. Choose sunglasses that are designed for your head size to take full advantage of UV protection and other lens benefits, especially if you opt for custom lenses!
Sufficient Temple Length
Sunglass temples that are too short may break more easily if you try pushing them further back than they were intended. As a result, the edges of the frame will sit too close to your cheekbones and the sunglass lenses may even touch your eyes. This would be uncomfortable at best, and dangerous at worst if you happen to bump into something. Choosing frames with temples long enough to fit snugly over your ears and provide enough space between your eyes and the lenses is the way to go.
Comfortable Frame Width
Lastly, keep in mind that glasses with oversized style lenses won't necessarily fit larger heads. You'll still want a frame that’s wide enough for your face, since narrower temples will squeeze the sides of your head and cause headaches. Again, go for frame styles that match your head/face size just right so the temples rest more securely and comfortably on your ears.
How Do I Know My Sunglass Size?
Take the guesswork out of finding your perfect frame measurement with SportRx’s Sunglasses Size Guide, where we explain our SportRx Frame Width (SFW) system. We’ve even got a Nike Men’s Sunglasses Size Guide and Nike Women’s Sunglasses Size Guide. For quick reference, large SFWs range from 133 to 148.

Its interchangeable lens system allows you to swap out lenses for other sports and activities you have planned for the day.
