Someone asked me to compare the Badman and X Squared when it comes to coverage. I am therefore posting these pics to show you all, in case you are interested.



The Badman is a bit lighter, but the wrapping around the head feels less solid than all the X-metals. This is of course because of the slightly flexible arms.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the comparison. The top-down view is fairly close.

Yes, but you can see that the Badman's arms are more apart.

A mars and madman comparison next please!!!

Oki

compare it to a holbrook and Sliver F if you have them...I have a funny feeling it's taller by a hair than a Brook

I don't have a Holbrook or Sliver, sorry Josh!

I thought the same thing with these Michael, again, thanks for posting pics!

Thanks for the comparison. They look great.

Weight...
The Madman is 35 grams and the Xs is 41 grams.

Thanks! Would definitely help the addiction!

Another awesome thread.. Thanks from me too :)

No problem, dear friends!

Thank you for the comparison. This helps my decision on whether or not to purchase one but I still would like to try one on in person first.

Thanks for the visual - They are a bit bigger than I thought they would be!!

Thanks for the helpful comparison, Michael!

Do you happen to have a Split Jacket for comparison, by chance? The Split Jacket fits my face best of all my Oakleys, so would be a helpful point of reference.

While the Badman and X Squared are somewhat similar, the Badman is definitely wider in lens coverage. I'm afraid this is going to pose a problem for those of us with small to medium faces. The upside to this is that is makes me more comfortable with getting a Madman, which is obviously a lot narrower (in lens coverage) than the Badman.

I don't have a split jacket to compare with, sorry...

No worries. Thanks for the response. Sooner or later, I will have both to compare for myself. :-)
