large helmets 61+ ?

Looking for first road helmet. Big bloke Big head, soft heart!

A lot of helmets stop at 62cm. I need more. We not all 5ft 10 inches with 2.3 children and an Audi with small back garden.

MET do some, including the Testagrossa (big head)

Specialized and Giro go to 63cm.

Giro

I tried a large specialized propero on my amply sized noggin today. Pretty sure it was labelled 60-63. It was bloody enormous.

63cm noggin here, have a Giro Xar and Remedy, both large, both fit very well 🙂

Brilliant helmets, tried one yesterday. If I don’t find anything else that’s the one I’m having.
When I tried it there was a niggly irritation on top but would come home and wear it for an hour first. For the money in my opinion are the best.

Giro +1

For a road helmet I use a Specialized S3 which go up to around 63cm.
For mtb use a Bell Super which is at least as big.
The spesh can be had for half price once in a while when they do their helmet amnesty things.
HTH

I have a barely used (2 rides old) Giro Phase up for sale if you are looking for something cheap? It’s more of a trail helmet though. Size 59-63 but way too big for me at 60 inches.

Always gone with Giro helmets in the past but their sizing is pretty whacko at the moment.

Reading that I would suggest that your sizing is a bit whacko too 😀

A 5 foot head wow .

Haha good spot. I meant 60cm

Big head here too – Giro seem to be the best for me as they are comfortable when set at their largest. I think they look better than Spesh helmets on big heads too, sit “around” your head rather than perched on top which makes your head look even bigger!!

I was ‘forced’ to buy the boardman carbony one the other month, XL in all other makes of lids but got a Large in the boardman and fits fine. Plus its the only helmet i’ve worn that doesnt make my head look huge, bonus!!
