Lumberjim...I need helmet source recommendations for guys with big heads - Page 2

monster · 09-23-2015, 06:54 PM

have a tiny head, but my baby Thor has a flippin watermelon. No wonder he wouldn't come out the conventional way. I think heads grow really quickly though nad the rest of his body might grow into it? If it keeps on at that rate, he'll be looking for plus size hockey helments and I bet they aint' cheap. Sorry, no help with the bike helmet though. Does LJ even need one over there? they struck down the law requiring them to be worn here. stupid twonks

I don't wear a helmet because it's the law, I wear it because I don't want a brain injury.

monster · 09-23-2015, 07:45 PM

wait a minute, doesn't LJ have a huge neck and a fivehead? If his actual head were big, this would not be items of note in the same way.

I know it's rude to speak ill of the dead, but is it rude to speak speculatively of the unresponsive?

monster · 09-23-2015, 07:46 PM

no-one (except maybe Amanda) should be thinking about LJ's head this much

Clodfobble · 09-23-2015, 08:35 PM

He's just being demure, doesn't want to embarrass all of us with his girth.

anonymous · 09-24-2015, 05:15 AM

Fivehead?

Clodfobble · 09-24-2015, 06:31 AM

As in, more than a "forehead."

I have a full face convertible that is 3x. I usually get by with 2x. Try Revzilla. Decent prices, superior shipping and servics.

How's the cross-country ride going, LJ?

lumberjim · 09-24-2015, 08:19 AM

Having a blast. Taking lots of pics and even some ferring mounted go pro video.

We're riding the Blue Ridge Parkway. On the way back north now. One more day of enjoyable riding... Goal is Front Royal. Then boogie home....

orthodoc · 09-24-2015, 08:25 AM

Cool. Beautiful area. Please post pics!
As for noggins, seems I'm right in the mean/median/middle of the curve range. I'd be a 7 3/8. Sounds like you know where to get the larger chapeaux though, LJ. Happy riding and safe trip home!

Sundae · 09-24-2015, 10:33 AM

I haven't asked a man his size since I was a teenager.
Although the Evil Ex told me his when I was in my twenties. Not surprisingly, he lied (I looked it up with a tape measure afterwards.)
And no, I'm not talking about his heid, although it seemed to be where he kept his conscience.

But now I want to know the size of every man on the Cellar.

The head above the collar of course.
Because as Blackadder told us, size is no guarantee of quality...

I wonder why men think bigger is better for men, but smaller is better for women?
I mean, have you ever known a woman who measured her snatch?

I'm sorry.
I'm really being coarse in a sensible thread.

Protip, if you don't have a tape measure, a spare USB cable and any yardstick/metrestick will do.

23 ½" / 59.5 cm (Large)

orthodoc · 09-24-2015, 11:38 AM

Wow. Just measured and I got 22 1/4", which makes no sense at all in terms of that chart because I know I wear a bigger equestrian helmet than a 7 1/8. On the other hand, my head is long front-to-back. Hard to fit. So that probably explains it. My third son has the same thing, suffered agonies of anxiety in middle school thinking he had a deformed head (he's anxious by nature). All right, this is embarrassing; move along, nothing to see here. Lightbulb head is all.
