This is a great sun mask for those of us that are sensitive to the Sun. I read all the reviews, and decided even though I am an average female, to go with the extra large. I'm very happy that I did, as it nicely drspes my face without being too tight. I cut the elastic band that goes to the back of the of the head, so I can just Loop it around my ears for driving. Works perfectly the way I intended it to. My advice is to buy the xl for average to xl face.
