Big Head.....Need Helmet

lockie · May 12th, 2009, 07:10 PM

Does anyone know of a Canadian online store that can sell me a XXXL helmet. My old open face one is from the easy rider days and I need to replace it. There were no large helmets to be had when I visited the two biggest bike shops in the province and the local dealer here is not sure he can find one for me.
I don't mind ordering online although you take the risk of getting the wrong size. I much prefer to order from a Canadian website as you don't get the hassles with customs and brokers.

Here's a link with some info on different xxxl helmets. Shoei and HJC now make some helmets in that size as well. I've got a sizeable melon as well, and wear 2X in some makes, 3X in others.

You need to measure your head around your forehead above the ears in centimeters as not all manufactures size in XL XXL etc my BMW system 5 is 60/61cm but they do them a lot bigger than that.

I found that replaceable cheek pads make a huge difference, too... I wear size 7-7/8 hats (62-63 cm circumference), and I've got a L Shoei RF-1000. I've replaced the stock cheek pads with smaller (31mm) ones, and it made all the difference.

With a Scorpion, for instance, I needed a XXL to feel comfortable and even at that it fit me oddly.
