Classic aviators for big heads 

The familiar aviator shape shouldn’t be limited to standard sizes. Aviator 165mm XXL brings teardrop lenses and a distinctive double bridge to an extra-wide frame, designed for big heads and broad faces.

These large aviators have a 60mm frame height, giving them a bold appearance and generous lens proportions. Choose an understated finish or mirrored lenses to suit your style.

Our XXL aviator sunglasses combine lightweight construction and spring hinges with polarised UV400 lenses. They’re a practical choice for holidays, days outdoors and everyday wear, with reduced reflected glare and protection against UVA and UVB rays.

 Find your XXL fit 

Aviator XXL has a 165mm frame width, designed for big heads and broad faces. Its 60mm frame height and deep teardrop lenses give it a larger look on the face than our Classic or Gent frames.

FAQs

 What makes these aviators suitable for big heads?

Aviator XXL has a 165mm overall frame width, designed for broader faces and larger heads. Spring hinges provide flexibility at the temples, while the generous teardrop lenses give these large aviators their distinctive proportions.

Do these XXL aviators suit a square face?

The curved teardrop shape can complement a square face by contrasting with stronger facial angles. Your preferred look is personal, so check the frame dimensions and model images to help judge the proportions.

 Do these sunglasses come with a case? 

Every pair includes a microfibre pouch. Our Extra Large Sunglasses Case is available for £19.50—half its usual price—when purchased with these sunglasses.

Comfy and great lens quality

Comfy and great lens quality. Seem well made too. I look 74% cooler wearing them.

Thanks, Darren! We're delighted you're enjoying the comfort, lens quality, and build of the Aviator XXL.

As for the 74% increase in coolness, our testing suggests that's a conservative estimate... but we'll take it! 😎️

A very good purchase

I never thought I would find off-the-shelf sunglasses that were actually a shade on the big side for me ! But that's not a problem. I like the area of eye cover, especially when driving, and they are so lightweight I sometimes forget I'm wearing them. All in all a very good purchase

Thanks so much, Roger! We love hearing this—most people are used to shades being too small, so finding a pair that’s actually a touch roomy is a rare win! Great to hear the coverage and lightweight feel are working perfectly, especially behind the wheel. Appreciate you choosing Faded Days! 😎️

Good quality lens and hinges. Temple tips actually go behind my ears which is a rarity. Which I found this site before I went on all my previous holidays.
