Lumberjim...I need helmet source recommendations for guys with big heads

I have a sizable noggin; as such, I cannot wear normal sized headgear. I am now searching for a new motorcycle helmet, and no one local has anything that will fit me.

I started thinking about who else rides that I know, and also has a freakish large head (because of lots of brains inside, of course), and I thought of LJ.

So dude? How large is your noggin? What size helmet do you wear now? Where would you suggest I look for a new brain bucket?

Any price you want to pay, I believe CycleGear will have you covered.

At the least they might give ya some ideas on which way to go.


ETA - They have a store/showroom in Lenexa.

I was thinking abot head size a few months ago when I had to hire my graduation gown and cap. I didn't have a tape measure, so I just guessed based on typical head size for a woman. I have no idea if I am average head size or not. Maybe I have a giant heid and never knew? Or a teeny, tiny head.

Obviously Jim has a big head.* Vikings developed big heads to accomodate their horned helmets.








* I say obviously, but I've never looked at a photo of Jim and thought 'he's got a big head'. What constitues big anyway in head terms?

I think it's easy to claim you have a big head, we need proof! We need a cellar poll!

Craniums represent!

I have a modest size 7 3/8.

I took an interest in this thread as I have been blessed to excess in the cranium department, if not in the contents thereof.

I used to ride horses and could rarely buy an off the shelf equestrian crash helmet. The retailer usually had to order one in.

Three or four winters ago I was looking after horses and had to transport hay out to the fields on a quad bike (ATV).

I took initial steps toward finding a crash helmet from a motor cycle outlet but my temporary spell at the stable was fairly short so I didn't pursue the matter any further.

I've just had a look at my old riding crash hat and see that the size is shown as 7½ - 7⅝. Sizes tend to differ from one manufacturer to another and I recall having one shown as 7¾.

Good luck in your search, Elspode. Would you like to volunteer what size you are searching for?

I've always found other people's hats to be on the small side for mine own haid.

I just measured it (my head) and it turns out it was 23¾ inches for the round trip, so about a 7⅝, or so.



ETA: Ima go ahead and guess Jim's head to be at least 26 inches. Because of his big brain. Or encephalitis. Something.

'Spode, I don't know where LJ got his helmet...

...and I don't mean to say he has a big head...

...but, this is where he gets his hats and bandanas made.

I don't know from hat sizes, but mine's 22 inches around. I bet you could fit two of me in all you people with fiveheads.
