Road helmets for big heads
 

Hi all,

I searched the forum for helmets for big heads but came up nothing. Perhaps I didn't put right keywords. Anyway, do y'all know which helmets can fit people with hat size of 7 3/4-8?

I did some research and apparently Bontrager Quantum has XL size. However, I do not like its minimum vents. Right now, I am using a Large Gire Atmos without inside padding and I am still not comfortable.

Take a look at the Specialized Echelon, it comes in XL.

The Limar Ultralight 104 runs pretty large. I had to send mine back because it was far too big. I think it was a large. I wear an Ionos now, but I forget what size it is.

Just checked both Specialized Echelon and Limar Ultralight 104. Their XL size are only 62cm max. About the same as my Giro Atmos. Any more suggestion?

My Bell Alchera in a large fits my 7 3/4 head and it's very comfortable.

I like the Lazer Helium for my giant head. The XL size goes to 65cm. Kinda pricey, but that's the price you pay for the large brain case.

my large Bell Volt fits my 7 7/8 noggin.

Tried Bell Volt and it is still too small.

Seems like Lazer has several models (not Helium) that have XL size. I will check them out. Thanks!

Here you go...

I wear 7 1/2 hat size and a large belt volt is huge on me. I think it would work for u as well.

I'm a 7 1/2 hat size and wear a large LAS Victory comfortably. Expensive, but a great lid.

+1. The XL is cavernous. Perfect for the truly big head!

If you have a specialized dealer around check out the the Specialized MAX. Part of their recreational series but does not look too bad and is well ventilated. Only helmet I've worn that I did not have to remove the pads. Actually, I can wear a fleece balaclava underneath and I still have extra room. Having said that, I'd like to check out the Lazer Helium

I have a ginormous noggin too - Tried a large Giro Atmos and it was too tight. Then I got the Spesh Propero II. The large is plenty big, 57 - 63cm, and very very comfy.

Just a follow up to my previous post

just looked at my Specialized Max and it is a size XXL/56-64 cm and weighs 382g (not light). looks quite a bit like the propero

This should do it.

Bell XLV
This extra large size helmet fits heads 58-65cm in circumference

I have the same issue. The following work well. I really liked the LAS and S-works over the Laser based on comfort (personal preferences).

LAS Squalo - XL covers to 63cm.
Specialized S-Works Prevail - L covers to 63cm.
Laser Helium - XL/XXL covers to 64cm.

I have always had trouble buying any type of headgear due to the size of my head and I found a Limar 911 helmet at a local shop. It fits quite comfortably and looks pretty good as well.

It isn't the lightest one out there but it sure makes MY head happy:thumb:.
