[Closed] Any good deals on road helmets for big heads?

i got a giro savant for £38 i think from Ribble.

fits my planet sized melon a treat.

I'd say that anyone with a super-swede really ought to go somewhere they can try a helmet on and make sure it fits before buying.

Even if it costs a bit more than an online bargin.

wot he said^

I struggle to find helmets to fit. My recent Mavic purchase was a delightful surprise when I tried one on, but in this hot head-swelling weather even that is a bit tight and uncomfortable. I'd happily pay MORE to find one that fits than snoop out a bargain that might not.

I need a new helmet and I've got a fat head (61cm)...

61cm?

does 'elshalimo' mean 'child with tiny pin-head'?

you should be fine with any helmet that comes in a 'large'.

(i'm just grumpy because i need a new helmet or 2, and with a 63cm head i struggle to find anything at all, let alone something that's a 'good deal')

you should be fine with any helmet that comes in a 'large'.

Ignore this^

It's not just about head circumference but head shape. I've tried on dozens of helmets and 90% don't fit because my "tiny pin head" is long and narrow. I find the largest sizes in so many ranges just press uncomfortably on my forehead but I can't get them snug side to side.

Personally I think helmets are THE most important thing to try before you buy if you know you have a "problem head"

Specialized Echelon II - £50 - I'm a 62" bonce and fits perfectly
