I go on a quest whenever I*feel the need for a new helmet (I am currently on such a quest). Keep trying them on. Some "large" helmets are bigger than others. Some are just poorly shaped for my head. I found a Bell helmet that fit fairly well, in a large/extra large size, but it was too ugly to wear. This is also a common problem. The "universal fit" ones aren't even worth trying on. -- David L.

Do an Internet search on Google for "Kinghead Helmet". Regards, Bill |

It's the only helmet I could find that fit my head... even the Giro Atlas wasn't big enough. |

I don't know what their metric size is, but Giro has an "Atlas" series for large heads; it's what I had to get to find one which fit well. Thanks, I will see if I can find someone to try. regards Jokke |

It looks like there is more people than me that has this problem, I wonder how they deal with it in countries that has a law on bicycle helmets. In Canada, there used to be an exemption for people who head was 64 cm or bigger. I'm not sure if it's still on the books. I've been trying to find out, since I plan on going to visit next year, and my head is 64.5 ... I will not wear a Hemet regardless! C.Q.C. |
