XXXL Trail Helmets

Hi everyone,
As I'm starting to ride gnarlier trails every day, I thought I'd invest in a more high end trail helmet, but I've forgotten about just how big my head was and how difficult it was for me to find a helmet in the first place. I'm currently using some commuter helmet from Abus which has a size of 62-65CM. I've searched the internet and asked around my LBS, but they couldn't come up with anything. The only two helmets that have fitted me so far are a Specialized Maxi (which doesn't really interest me because it is essentially the same grade of helmet as my Abus) and a Bell XLV, which ended up giving me a bad headache after about an hour of riding. I seem to have tried everything from POC, Giro, Fox, Specialized and Scott with no results.
So would anyone have any ideas? I'm looking for a higher grade helmet and I'm willing to spend up to £150 for one.

I also have a bit of a meat head and my Specialized lid fits me well. I think its a 60-63 or something. I have a 661 XL full face and that is very comfortable so maybe try them next?0

661's open face helmets end at 62cm and Spesh hasn't worked apart from the Maxi, which is their only helmet going up to that size .0

Here you go. And it's a nice shade of red.

I was going to get their new Stroker helmet. Never google Bell Stroker.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350
