My friend finally got back to me. In his experience, the only two manufacturers that make "Plus sized" helmets are Arai and HJC. Check out their websites, and good luck! | ||

Davida sound like they're right up your mates street. I have no desire for an open face lid these days, but Davida always catch my eye at the shows. Quality product. AGV I believe do a very large shell too. Rocket | ||

Remember, its not just size, but shape. I have an 8 1/8 (not sure what that is in cm's), but the only helmet I found ANYWHERE that fit right was a Shoei XXL, more because of its shape then anything else. Every other one I tried on was a XXL, but mashed my forehead and back of my head, but the Sheoi fits like a glove!! Bruce | ||

Has he gone into a motorcycle gear shop and tried any on? It would be helpful to know what brands/sizes he has tried on. I've got a big head but I'm not sure what the circumference is. I used to wear an Arai full face XXL. I've since switched to a Scorpion full face XXL (Scorpion also sells 3/4 helmets). http://www.scorpionusa.com |
