Hi All,
Hoping someone can help, I have recently got a bike and I'm interested in doing some trails/bike parks etc.
a lot of these place require a helmet, which is all well and good, however, I need the equivalent of around 4XL !!!!!!!!!!! My head measures around 66 cm, so Im guessing around a 67 cm woudl be awesome.
I woudl like both a full face and an open face (dirt/street) style! any ideas/help at all pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!
Thanks!

i hear your pain mate
i too have a massive head and struggled to find a helmet that didnt make me look like an idiot
reality is that the style you are looking at getting will make your head look even bigger
i went for a Specialized one in the end

not cheap, but reasonably low profile and stupid light0 -

That's not going to be as protective as a piss pot or a full face. However specialized helmets in general are pretty generous size wise so I'd say their range is worth a look.- Kona Hot '96 - Marin Rift Zone '09 - Cannondale Synapse Carbon '06 - Kona Caldera '98 - Kona AA '94 - Dawes Kickback II - Cannondale BadBoy '11 - Genesis iOiD SS -0 -
Thanks guys! Will check it out! I think Ive made peace with the fact can't be fussy, so will take what I can get!0

I too have a giant head! Went to loads of shops before I found one that fit!
From what I can find out the Specliazed helmet recommend above only goes up to 63cm for the large? Not sure if that's big enough for you but if it is, there's a much cheaper and slightly larger alternative that I bought, the Bell XLV, which also goes up to 65cm i think:

Hope you find one big enough in the end!0
