Helmets for fat heads

Ok Ok stop s******ing you!

Some of us need extra extra extra large helmets for our equally large brains.

question is, what helmet fits you best without massive wind noise. Most, if not all helmets that are reasonably quiet on a 'normal' head become loud and ill fitting when on a 'moon' head. Please only give answers if you have a very large head, what works for 'peanut headed' others may not work for us.

Intresting

1. To laugh in a stifled or suppressed way, often derisively or mockingly.

When i first posted that it was uncensored for a few days, does it have a different meaning in other parts of the world?

I have a big head and I use an Arai Vector. A little bit on the spendy side, but fits absolutely perfect.

Does a real good job even drowns out the D&Ds. I was going to pull them because they give me a head ache but with the new helmet it is just a low rumble.

Thumbs up Never fogs!

I have a shark rsi. I love it. the best part about it is that it never fogs up on me. I also bought a tinted visor. Good helmets!

I'm XXL for HJC CL-Max and Nolan N102. I don't have anything to compare them to except each other, and they're both noisy, in my opinion. They're both modular--I wear glasses--and I'm sure that contributes to the noise.

The Nolan fits nicely, snugly, comfortably. The fit of the HJC is good enough, not as nice as the Nolan.
