Big'ol Head - Helmet Reco?
I have a 60 cm crown, meaning my head is friggin' big. My helmet experiences have pivoted between uncomfortable and hilarious. I lost my last one during a hazy bar-jaunt through Koreatown.
I've tried reshaping my head like this:
but the darn thing just swole' up more.
I would appreciate helmet recommendations from other large-headed peeps who've found some headgear that doesn't look ridiculous.

depends on the shape your head really, i have a massive noggin like yours and i've always had luck with bell helmets because my head i big and round like a globe. giros tend to be a little longer and flatter.
anyways, a bell sweep seems to work fine for me. even the metro, while a bit eggy-looking is comfy enough.
