The Best Sunglasses for Guys With Big Heads
Sometimes when we go to buy sunglasses and try a pair on, there’s something just off about them. Cheap material, poor lens visibility , or an awkward fit - sometimes some glasses don’t live up to the hype. Finding that special pair, one that stands out from the pack, isn’t easy. If you’re a guy with a big head, then we have some sunnies that go above and beyond for you - The Big Kahuna and The Coastal XL. Say goodbye to showing up to your local mall only to be disappointed by their ‘Extra Large’ options. If you want sunglasses that fit great and look even better on your melon, Detour’s premiere XL sunnies are just for you. Today, we’ll go over what exactly makes these “The most bang for your buck” XL Sunglasses out there.
UV 400 Protection: Keeping Your Eyes Safe and Healthy
UV 400 Polarized Lenses are THE key feature to look out for when purchasing your next pair of sunnies. Sunglasses with UV 400 protection prevent long term damage to your eyes - without them you run the risk of getting cataracts and macular degeneration, Photokeratitis (sunburn of the eyes) and developing certain types of eye cancer. Sunglasses without UV400 not only fall short of protecting your eyes, you’d actually be better off wearing no sunglasses at all. The tint on non-UV protected sunglasses dilates your eyes, leading them to soaking in more UV rays, the exact opposite of what you want. With our Premier Sunglasses for Big Heads, we want to provide you with phenomenal protection from the sun's harmful UV rays.

Super Durable Sunnies
Our XL sunglasses are designed to withstand whatever life throws at you. One key feature is that both The Big Kahunas and The Coastal XLs come equipped with impact resistant lenses, they are designed to withstand the everyday elements of your active lifestyle. Further, both the Big Kahuna and Coastal Xl are outfitted with Spring Loaded Side Hinges, meaning the hinges can bend both towards and away from the hinge. This style of hinge brings increased durability and supreme comfort to your sunglasses. Say goodbye to accidental snaps and breaks. Once you get spring hinges in your sunglasses, you’ll never go back. Both The Big Kahuna and Coastal XL offer phenomenal durability without sacrificing comfort, what more could you ask for?
The Big Kahuna: An Awesome Set of Shades
The Big Kahuna is one of our premiere pairs of X-tra Large sunglasses. These sunnies are durable, with their impact resistant lenses, hinge frames, UV400 Polarization, all while fitting big heads just right. Coming in at 151 mm wide, 51 mm tall and 153 mm deep, there are few sunglasses that fit on your Melon while also being packed with so many awesome features.
Wherever you take The Big Kahunas, they are going to look great on you. Take them to the beach, out for a long hike, or for a quick drive down to the store. There is no place The Big Kahuna won’t come in handy. We offer tons of unique lens colors that you can choose from too! The always-in-vogue Matte Black Frame with The Jet Black Lenses are an excellent choice. If you want a lens color that really pops, check out our brand new Blue Gold Gradient Lenses. I’d recommend checking out one of our Team’s favorite colors: The Green Machine Polarized.
Our Big Kahuna also has a specialized Z87 model that is ANSI Z87 certified by The American National Standards institute. In short, these glasses are specifically tested and rated for use in jobs where flying objects and debris, hazardous chemicals and/or exposure to harmful radiation are possible. The Big Kahuna Z87 rises to the occasion in all of these areas, all while keeping the many great features that make the Big Kahuna a superb pair of sunglasses.
