    Default Big lid for a big head.

    Hey all!

    So i have a really big head and am having trouble finding a helmet that fits comfortably. Not looking for a full face, just one thats not too pricey and breathes well because sweaty head is gross =P

    Head is 26.5"
    any suggestions?

    Hello

    I have a quite big head myself, and it is hard to find a helmet that is a good fit. Right now I have a Pro-tec that is ok(not a perfect fit), and next time I will buy a Bern hard-hat.

    Have tried them out at my local skate shop and they are super comfy; It is like wearing a cap. Very light and they got a "strop"(dont know what it is called in english) inside that you can tighten to a perfect fit. (did that make sense?)

    I tried a lot of helmets before I found one that was ok, so if you have the possibility to try different helmets before buying one, I recommend that.
    Hope you find one you like

    Have you seen the S-One CroMag? It's huge, fits up to 65-66cm. 65cm is about 25 1/2 inches - may not be big enough for you, but maybe worth a shot. The CroMag has a soft foam liner that is not CPSC or ASTM certified, but is comfy.

    Both ProTec and Triple Eight generally fit up to about 60cm. You can get another 1-2 cm from a replacement liner for the Triple Eight, but not up to your size...

    Good luck.

    The Bell Faction I have is one in large, I have had to use the thick padding to get it to comfortably fit my head (which is big enough). Odds are you will be totally fine with this cause the large is pretty damn big, and its just a very nice helmet with nice safety specs.
