zoltan Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 My friend has a huge head and he finally bought the larget Beori helmet made, but it's still too tight on him. Does anyone know what the largest ski/snowboard helmet made is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pebu Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Nice. I love that movie... "You went over my helmet?" "No, no, not exactly over it... More like... to the side..." (It's sad, I know, but I can tell with exact certainty that's the area of the movie that screenshot is from...) Anyways, I know Smith makes some fairly large helmets. Has he tried taking the extra padding and stuff out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Leedom makes 3XL helmets for people with 64cm watermelons. Boeri makes a 3XL in some of their models, but they only go to 63cm. BTW... Is this one of those "my buddy has a problem" questions where your buddy is really you? ;) I wear a 2XL and I know this guy with a gargantuan melon that needed a helmet one time. He wore my XC MTB helmet and it looked like a yamika. Oh, how I wish that I had a camera. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Gendzwill Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Some of the Giro models go to 63 cm I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoltan Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 BTW... Is this one of those "my buddy has a problem" questions where your buddy is really you? ;) So, what are you trying to say? Are you trying to tell me that I have bobblehead like proportions? That you still wonder how my frame can that massive weight? That you should have told me to forget andulating my body and just angulate my head? Is that what you're trying to say?

Neil Gendzwill Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Giro has a XXLI have an old one in that size that barely fits my 62 cm noggin - mind you, mine is a narrow oval shape that's hard to fit. Their newer adjustable sizing (xl to xxl, I think they say) is a little bigger and fits more shapes, because it's the bicycle style adjustable harness inside the shell thing.

Guest needanswer Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Just want to say that going by diameter is not good enough Helmets are oval; it's longer from fore head to back of the head than ear to ear. some brands are more oval, others are more round even though they measure the same all around. if your friend's head is more round, it will take a larger size oval helmet to fit ear to ear than a rounder helmet, and there'll be more gap at the forehead. they should have better measuring system, like pants (length + width) or shoes (size + width). Helmets should come in different widths for those of us with more in between the ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
