Anybody out there blessed with a lunker sized cranium?

If so, have you been able to find a good fitting helmet?

My melon demands a 7 3/4 hat size, which translates to somewhere between XL and XXL! The bike helmets I've seen only go up to L.

Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated. Would like to find a good fitting brain bucket before I wipe out and give my 'noggin' a 'floggin'.

Matt, thats about my hat size. Try the Giro helmets. i wear a large right out of the box with no extra padding.

I have a 25" circumfrance head, not sure what that translates to in hat sizes, but the Gira L/XL helmets fit me nicely
