I have a big head. My hat size is an XXL. I've tried a few different N95's and they all fit tight and are uncomfortable. Does anyone have recommendations for N95's for big heads?

    See if there is anything useful here:

    Unfortunately those seem to be earloop style masks though.

    The 3M 6200 (elastomeric half facepiece respirator) is available in different sizes. I have the medium and it fits me ok, so you might see about a large. This type of mask makes you look like Darth Vader so I tend to save it for special occasions.

    I've had pretty bad luck with the Gerson 3230 since they fall apart rather rapidly. I bought a box of 50 and still have a few left, so if you want, I can probably send you a couple to try.

    I do like the 3M Aura 9205 except for the rubber straps, but again, they are sized ok for me and might be too small for you.
