Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Any XL helmet other than Giro Syntax MIPS?

I have a large round Asian head that is just slightly bigger than Giro's size L, so I wear a Giro Savant XL or a Kask Mojito XL. The Mojito is noticeably smaller and fits better than the Savant in all but one respect: the rear panels of the tightening mechanism push against the ends of the temples of my Oakley. The Savant is slightly wide and unnecessarily long for my head and takes many clicks to tighten, so giant mushroom head. I have seen a few suggestions to buy "Asian Fit" helmets in Japan, which I had planned to look into on my next business trip until COVID-19 moved all meetings online. I had also e-mailed Kask U.S. about the Mojito 3, but it responded that there is no current plan to release an XL version of this helmet. So other than a Giro Syntax MIPS XL, what are my helmet options? I would consider more expensive helmets if they fit.

Please don't bother responding to tell me not to wear a helmet. It is not my intent to start a thread to debate about whether to wear a helmet. Thank you.

My son is a big human, has a big head and we ordered one of these online. Shipped from Europe so it took a while but it fit him.

You might try a Lazer G1 MIPS. A Giro Synthe MIPS Large fits me really well. My new Lazer G1 Large is too big unless I wear head sweat cap which I always do.

I have an S-Works Prevail II. They only come in S, M, L. But their L seems to run a little larger than everyone elses large that I tried on when looking for a helmet earlier this year. Last year

Though if you aren't trying them on, you probably don't want to chance them through mail.
