Frame Fit Guide

You're looking at an XL frame. Here's what to know.

These look big. Are they too big for me?

If your face is average-width or smaller, our XL fit may sit too far out on your face. Most customers do best in our regular fit. Try those first, and exchange to XL if they feel snug at the temples.

I have a big head. Will these fit?

If your current frames feel tight at the temples or leave marks, you'll likely want our XL fit. XL frames are built wider through the temples and the front, so they sit comfortably on larger heads without pinching.

What if the bridge feels wrong?

The bridge is the distance between your lenses (the second number in the size code). If frames slide down your nose, the bridge is too wide. If they sit too high or pinch, it's too narrow. Most adults sit between 18mm and 22mm.

What do the numbers on the inside of frames mean?

Every frame has three measurements (lens width, bridge, temple length) printed on the inside of the arm. If you've got a pair of glasses you love, find those numbers and match them up against our sizes below.

Our Sizing Code (Explained)

Every Madson frame has three measurements. You'll see them like this: 53–19–145

53: Lens width (in millimeters). The horizontal width of one lens. Bigger number = bigger lens. Most adults sit between 50–58mm.

19: Bridge width. The gap between the two lenses, where the frame rests on your nose. Most adults sit between 16–22mm.

145: Temple length. The arm of the frame, from the hinge to the tip behind your ear. Most adults sit between 140–150mm.

How to measure your current pair: flip them over. The numbers are usually printed on the inside of the left temple. Match them to ours to find your closest fit.

Polarized vs Enhanced Polarized

Both block 100% of UV. Enhanced adds high-contrast clarity and richer color, making blues bolder, reds richer, and greens more alive.

Feature Polarized Enhanced Polarized
100% UV protection
Reduces glare
Premium polarized lens
High-contrast clarity
Boosted color vibrance
Cuts harsh yellow/blue light

All Madson lenses are polarized at the standard tier. Enhanced is an optional upgrade for shoppers who want sharper color and contrast.

OUR PROMISE

DESIGNED & BUILT TO LAST

Every frame is built from high-end premium materials - designed for comfort, durability, and timeless style. Our goal is simple: make eyewear you’ll be proud to wear, at the best value. Period.

Pros: Fit well, clear polarized lens.Price is good
Cons: Lens is pretty light. Darker option or colored lens would be much better. Can see your eyes through the lens and I still find myself squinting on bright days. May look to replace lens which is additional Cost or look elsewhere.

Perfect fit for my head

I’ve been buying the Classico for quite some time now and I saw that these were slightly bigger so I took a shot in buying a pair and instantly these fit perfect on my big head. They felt comfortable on the sides like they were custom for me. I have my preferred pair from now on.

Prescription Glasses Piston XL Rx.

Good morning,
~ I hope you all had a great Christmas / Holiday!
My over all experience.....
~ Customer service and email response was exceptional!
~ My Prescription glasses, I am not satisfied. I am not sure if the prescription was applied to the clear lenses. I have difficulty in reading Small description words or numbers on a measuring tape. I find my self switching back to my "CVS store bought Readers" Switching back to my Readers is Night and Day difference in reading small script, letters and numbers.

~ The over all glasses [Piston XL Rx.] Protect my eyes for my uses in Automotive work, Protecting my eyes. I am happy about that, the size that covers my eyes and face.
~ Not sure to process of where to go from here,
Thank you, Have a great New Years

A little disappointed

I have 5 pairs of Madsons. I love them for my big head.
I ordered the Piston XL two tone black and tortoise and have to say that the ones I received don’t look like the picture in your ad. I was hoping for a shinier, glossier tortoise color on the bottoms. These are dull and just not what I was hoping for.

The Extra Wide Is A Great Fit

I have a large head and these glasses fit so well. I forget I'm wearing them when they're on my head, and as an added bonus they require no adjustments and they do not fall off! I'm a loyal Madson of America customer and I can't recommend these glasses high enough.

5th pair of Madsons and plan on getting more!

I have some that have lasted more than 6 years. Really impressive design and super durable. I’m very heavy on sunglasses and these are the real deal! I’ve also sent some off for prescription.
