Whenever head size comes up on here - mostly in relation to helmets - people will comment on how big their head is.
"Planet-sized" is how jam bo just recently described his.
Coincidentally, I have a hat that relates to work I do that was shipped in a size too small for me. But when I made enquires among my colleagues as to whom it might fit instead, there was absolutely no one. And it's not even that much too small.
I know that my head is big enough that large helmets almost never fit, but I can't help wondering:
What man actually has a small head? 😐

David Byrne?

Me. Wife stretches my hats, so she's not allowed to borrow them any more. And I lose hers, so I'm not allowed to borrow hers.
Jeez. Tell me he looks like that because he's wearing 1980s shoulder pads.
Not me.. Huge head here
Regularly crop a few inches out of my forehead in wedding photos
Not me..
I'm normal me..

I can fit into my mates 3 year old's bike helmet.
Still, for a 3 year old he has a massive head.
Me, all my helmets are either a small or a medium, none large and the mediums always have to be cranked down.
I have an old motorcycle helmet that I kept. It is an Arai Luca Cadalora replica from his Yamaha days.
I used this helmet through my 20's and into my early 30's. It was always snug as it was a 'race helmet'.
I'm 46 now, a couple of stone heavier but my head has grown to the point that I try and put this lid on and I look like Paloma faith with her fascinator.
I know we tend to get a bit bigger as we spread out with age but did not expect my head to grow quite as much as it has.
Earlier today I was looking for a waterproof cap to go under a helmet, or just wear when commuting. Now I have decided to make it my life's mission to kill/maim/slaughter every ****ing moronic designer and manufacturer involved in the production of "one size fits all" headwear. NO IT DOES NOT YOU PIN HEADED ****TARDS!!!
S or XS helmets for me 😀
Means I can pick up the odd bargain as everyone else seems to have M or L sized heads 8)
As a glasses wearer it also means I can occasionally get away with a posh pair out of the kiddies range, which are cheaper 8)
My small head is in proportion with the rest of my body so it's a win-win as far as I'm concerned.
I have a medium sized head. My nephew aged 12 wears the same size helmet as I and has done for about 5 years... He's like the Mekon.
Small helmet size here too. As above, it's great. Usually end up with 70% off helmets in clearance as they only get left with small sizes. Had some proper bargains.
@saxonrider - have you seen the film? The suit starts off "normal" sized and as the concert progresses it gets bigger and bigger.
Not me...
Mine's mahoosive.
Large Giro Feature looks like the aforementioned fascinator, it's not tight, it doesn't even go over my head!
I don't even bother hat shopping as I've not had one that fit since I was in primary school.
I have my own hard hat in the car as it's bodged to fit, no site ever has one big enough.
My head's big enough to need to buy XL helmets, and I always tear paper crowns at Christmas. I have big hands and feet too.
I have a hat that relates to work
I think we need a photograph. Is it particularly shiny?
Im 6'5" but wear a S Giro helmet. Work that one out? I can't. 😐
I think mine's pretty regular but then I'm not one of those stupidly overgrown people. I'm the perfect height of 5'7 7/12"
My only 'colossal' measurement is the width of my feet! I'm like donald Duck except I need to find shoes that fit!
I met a guy once. He was extremely well built, looked like a bodybuilder but his head was tiny. I asked how this came about and he told me that he was a lifeguard and had rescued a mermaid from an entangled fishing net, she was so grateful she said he could have anything he wanted. He asked for sex, but she pointed red out that being a fish below the waist meant she wasn't equipped for intercourse.
"Fair enough" he said "how about a little head?"
I once spent a couple of hours at the motorcycle show at the NEC shuttling between various stalls looking for the best deal on an Arai helmet I'd been lusting after for years. When I'd finally beaten down the price, it came to getting the right size, the guy told me that the next size up from the one that fitted was the box.
60cm according to the tape measure here.
No idea if thats S, M or L but I know that my brother has a head the size of a Fiat 500 (new one) thanks to some encephawotist he had as a baby.
Small head here - find it hard to find hats and helmets. Still though, has its benefits - during my unsuccessful sparring career it was harder to hit 😀
I generally need an S in helmets, or ideally S/M like my old MET. I bought a medium Feature when they were fairly new out, and I couldnt do it up tight enough to stop it wobbling about.
TBF a small feels a bit too small, but when I crashed it took a whack and stayed on so I bought another.
I think we need a photograph. Is it particularly shiny?
Yep.
Saxons take head protection very seriously. Especially when riding.

Is that caused by your mother eating too many Wotsits during pregnancy?
Nope, very few helmets will go near me. My Wife cant fit into any female specific lids either - Liv thankfully make an l/XL Ladies helmet.
Daughter is in Helmets designed for 5/8 year olds - she's 3 and our eldest who's 11 can wear his Mum's helmet in a pinch, we we let it out a bit.
It's crap - my helmets make me look like this guy:

The only time it's good is when I need a new FF which I'll barely wear, I can sometimes find the "we'll never sell this thing" XXL in the bargain bin for £25.
I met a guy once
That's weird, me too. Wonder if it was the same one.
I have a tiny head. Small in all brands, which is usually the same as "Youth". I did buy a Giro Flume kids helmet once for funsies, it had fire on it and everything.
Pin head, here.
Aero, innit. Smaller target, too...

Perchy,I think this is the only one that is time machine compatible

😆 ....still funny
Mine is quite tiny - 55.
Rockin a 58cm here.
To be fair, I have a very high opinion of myself.
I also have a head like a melon. Sorry OP
55 which is a small medium. 5 10 and a half
No bargains for me
I think my head is fairly average sized, but I have quite a lot of hair. So most "one size fits all" caps don't really fit. Only cycling caps that fit properly are Walz.
Is it a Brosnan.

Or a Herbert.

I've also got a small head. Thankfully, at only 5'5 with a slim figure it's in proportion to the rest of me.
My roadie lid is white, and does make me look like a mushroom!
60cm
Out on a ride the other day, three of us stood about. One with a big giant Swede, one with a normal, one with a peanut head, and tld wearers all. They appear to have fit dialed.
Small helmet here. About the only thing I get end of year bargains on.
63 in new money which is a tad big.
