I bought one of those. That was the most high-riding I've ever seen. I compared my head to the promo materials from bell, it made me feel like an alien. The band fit fully extended, but it would only protect me if I fell onto the top of my head. The foam is much smaller than the band. No rear or side protection whatsoever if I fell, and it looked ridiculous. I would love to find that style with a large size shell, but it doesn't seem to exist.
