Which helmets are the largest? Help needed..!

Postby kitevan » Thu Feb 24, 2011 1:21 pm

I have decided that I want wear a helmet from now on. My head just won't fit the L size of the 3-4 brands I tried (by a small margin but it won't). Anybody had the same problem? Any solutions? (brands, modifications etc.) Any help appreciated greatly!
P.S. Same problem in the army - not suffering from hydrocephaly :)

For sure, the Pro Tech two face from NSI in Hood River, Oregon. Me got large noggin, even had to shave a little of the lining off with the dremel sander and fits perfect. This after trying almost every helmet out there. Good Luck.

Just bought it from ebay, should be here in a couple of weeks! Looks great too! If it fits, you two deserve a few beers! Come to Rhodes this summer! :thumb:

If the Protech XL helmet doesn't fit, a company called Bern makes XXL and XXXL water helmets that are comfortable and nice quality.

Good riding,
