I use this one in XL. Sits a bit lower on the sides of your head than most helmets I've tried. A little lower on the forehead also. I like a visor, but if you don't takes about 1 second to remove it. About 10 seconds to return it to helmet. Some colors are on sale for $69 versus normal $99.

Giro makes XL helmets that fit my big-ass head for cycling and skiing. I have the Bishop model for mountain and gravel biking. I use a Bontrager Starvos XL for road cycling.

I have an big head (XL in all motorcycle helmets) and my XL Bell Stratus is not maxed out even with a beanie on underneath it. The MIPS version topped the virginia tech tests 6 months ago and its quite well ventilated (at least compared to my old L. Garneau)

I have a massive head and the Giro Synthe in XL works fine. Note that the MIPS version, however, with its plastic fly-swatter-ish insert inside made the helmet a little tighter, so the non-MIPS was what I went for. YMMV

Really need to know what counts as a "big head." Most helmets go to 61-62cm, so fitting a 7 5/8 or so. Bigger than that, pickings get slimmer. As someone said, the POC Octals get pretty large-- 63 or 64.

^^^ Good point. The Bontrager Quantum that I linked to earlier in the thread, fits 60-66cm in XL.
