Went to try out helmets yesterday. Going to be needing one since I'm going to my first HPDE soon. I tried an HJC XXL motorcycle helmet. It was pretty tight. Do different brands and styles of helmets differ in sizing? Like would one brands XXL be a lot different than another's XXL? There's this Snell 2005 helmet I want to get from Safe Racer but XXL is the largest size it comes in.

 

yeah different brands fit differently.

 

Bell makes comfortable, reasonably priced helmets made especially for those with big brains. I recommend buying a Kevlar, SA rated helmet, as opposed to a Motorcycle helmet. Both are allowed for HPDE, but only SA is allowed for racing.

 

Wow, that is a big head. When i saw the title and the fact that it was posted in the motorsports section, I thought maybe you were winning a lot.

 

You are in luck as I have a really huge mellon.

Try a G-Force as they run pretty big. Zamp is rather large as well.

Sweet. I was planning on getting a G-Force helmet but XXL is the largest the model I wanted came in.

 

get a bell
they have a special helmet for huge heads, trust me my head is huge and they had one that fit me. The also have one size bigger.

try the bell m3 xtra or M4 extra

 

Helmets are a bit odd in that an XXL may mean one thing in one brand but something other in another brand.

In a fitted hat I wear a 7 7/8th or 8. It's hard to tell as I run across so few fitted hats that size that it's a moot point.

With that said the G-Force in XXL that I picked up was snug but comfortable which is exactly as it should be. The folks in the link I posted sent me another helmet first which ran small but were very kind in helping me find one that did work.

If you get one from them I would venture to guess that they would offer you the same courtesy. Give one a try and see if it works. If not, try again.

 

Thanks everybody.

 

try a simpson bandit with the smaller cheek pads in their largest size.
fit is awesome for my 25" diameter cabeza.
g-force and pyrotect xxl are also good fits.

just look at the size of that melon!!!

 

Ouch... I can not get any Simpson on my head and I wanted too.

They are nice and light and while they are expensive I value my head.
