Helmets for Large Heads?
"William Blum" wrote in message ...
Any recommendations on getting a helmet meant to fit a large head? None of the 'large' size helmets in either local bike shop fits me, and I'd like my entire brain to fit in the bucket, so to speak. --bill blum Giro makes a helmet called the Atlas that's a "universal-large" fit: http://www.giro.com/usa/cyc_atlas.html . REI sells it: http://tinyurl.com/kx7x . You may be able to buy it from REI and then return it if the helmet doesn't work for you. I'm in somewhat the same boat- "large" helmets squeeze me on the forehead. I've either modified the foam (coarse sandpaper works great) or simply put up with funny red marks on my head. FWIW, my hat size is 7 5/8- which should fit a "large", but I guess I've got a long, narrow head. My dad, though, is flat out of luck. His hat size is 8 1/8- there ain't nothing that fits him. Fortunately he's a history professor, not a cyclist (not that they're mutually exclusive): http://www.usc.edu/dept/LAS/history/...ills/Wills.htm Jeff |

Meanwhile, the local grocery store is overrun with history grads stocking shelves. |

... Oddly enough, I'm a 7 7/8, and a large Bell fits me just fine. I tried to get a better one, and they *didn't* fit, so I'm still using the Bell. A little more ventilation would be nice, but it's tolerable. Not sure of my size, but my head is very large (so is the rest of me @ 6'10"). I've had a couple of Bell helmets, they fit fine. |
