I have the exact same hat size, and I wear a Bell Alchera...which is an Influx minus the visor. The Alchera sits normally on my head, and if loosened up allows for my winter hat as well. It sits low enough to provide protection for my temples, and if you look at the images of the helmet you can see from the shape how it would do so.

Best helmet I've used. Only one that sits low enough to look nice and normal, and give me protection at my temples.

The Alchera is a helmet that Bell sells in Europe, but periodically Nashbar or Performance will have a sale where I believe they're clearing out last year's stock. I got mine for less than $40 on Nashbar.

Good luck to you!
