I guess the solution is to buy a cheapy XL helmet and possibly a helmet cover.
Thanks.
Doesn't your helmet adjust for size? I just adjust mine larger when i have the balaclava on. If your helmet does not adjust than you need an adjustable helmet. I don't do anything special to my helmet in the winter other than adjust size to accomodate for balaclava's, and ear bands.
Out of all my winter rides I have never had a cold head. It really just isn't one of those things that becomes an issue. Hands, and feet are the bigger challenge although they are very easily addressed as well after a bit of expirementing.
