i need a really large full face helmet
« on: March 30, 2010, 12:29:45 PM »
i had a 2xl and it was too small, my hat size is 8 1/2 so i need either a 3xl or a 4xl sized full face helmet. any ideas as to who might have something in that size and affordable? after seeing pics of a local guy that went down wearing his "pudding bowl" helmet i absolutely have to have one now.

I have a full face Scorpion EXO 400 (size 8 1/4 65 -66 cm) xxxl, my head is also too damn big and this one seemed a bit larger that the others. I got mine about 2 years ago when I got my bike and it didn't get put to use until a few months ago when I got back on the road but I like it. I think I paid somewhere in the neighborhood of $150 to $200, it's all black and doesn't have any of that fancy art on it, give that a try if you haven't already.

bucky, your a mutant
i thought i had a large head at 7 3/4
good luck finding a dealer
just look for a helmet that has lots of venting

head is more stable in the wind if you don't have a faring
by the way, real men don't use farings

Here's one Jeff:  http://www.vegahelmet.com/altura.html  This model goes up to 5xl but only in black.

And here's a black one:  http://www.helmetshop.com/product/ST-18981/ALTURA-06-BLACK/

I was led there by this sizing chart (scroll down a little) http://www.webbikeworld.com/motorcycle-helmets/extra-large-motorcycle-helmets.htm#chart

i ended up getting a Vega Altura for 63.95 from the Helmet Shop http://www.helmetshop.com/product/ST-18981/ALTURA-06-BLACK/
 the guy that i spoke to must have asked me 5 times if i was sure i needed a helmet that large, i told him that yes, i have a head the size of a medicine ball  :D  forgot to mention that i;ve realized just how litigous our society has become. in HUGE red letters on the decal on the visor it says "please remove this decal before riding"  it covers the entire visor and is an opaque decal with all the specifications on it  ::)

it fits like it was made just to fit my bowling ball sized head. i can still hear traffic and sirens and all but i certainly dont need t wear ear plugs when riding in this helmet.

That warning was for people like the blond who kept buying frozen orange juice, because it said to add three cans of water & she could not find those cans.
