MTB helmet for fridge sized head

Megahurtz400 · 23 Apr 2019 at 19:52

Hey all,

Friend has got his old hard rock running and needs a helmet.

Only issue being is that his dome is bigger than a SMEG fridge, about 67cm and very round.

Is there any helmets out there that could fit?

I take a Giro XL as my heads around 65cm, but even this is too small.

Any help would be appreciated

I've only ever heard of Giro or Troy Lee being recommended for big bonce's. Probably best to get him to head to a decent bike shop and try as many on as possible.

Lol.

Yeah thing he's going to take a trip this weekend. He tried on my Giro again and while it is a tad too small on the sides, it fits elsewhere.

I think what we may have to do is get something like Giro and lightly sand away 1mm or so from the tight spots :confused:

Too much talk of helmets and smeg in this thread.

I'm around 66-67cm and had a Specialized helmet that fitted well and from memory picked it up at Evans Cycles. This was a number of years ago though so don't know if they still make them. More recently, I have been using a Troy Lee helmet which again fit my big bonce nicely.
