Helmets for large heads

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to get extra large helmets. I have
tried to find them in sweden but the largest I have found is 63cm but I
have 64.5cm :-(

Regards

I have the same problem, though I don't know my hat size in metric units.
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.

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.

Hi Jokke,

Bell Sports makes a really large helmet (much larger than the usual
XL size) it is called the Kinghead. Do an Internet search on Google
for "Kinghead Helmet".

Bill

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

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.

Yeah, tell me about it, "one size fits all" right?!

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!
