  1. FINALLY, there is a standard's approved cycling helmet available in Oz for us riders with big noggins.
    I have never ever been able to buy a helmet that fits until yesterday when I tried on a MET Testragrossa. It fitted perfectly, so I bought it.
    So, if others in the 64cm helmet size range have the same problem as me finding a helmet to fit, check out the MET.

    Nice name - "Big Head". Nothing subtle about that! I've found Giros pretty
    good for my big head, but I can't remember seeing any here in Perth.

    64cm !! That is one big melon.....I thought mine was big at 60cm (in
    proportion to my 195cm, 102kg frame of course).

    I have also found that Giros are a good fit for a boof head....the Mets that
    I tried on in the past always felt like they were perched on the top of my
    head.

    Ride On,

    Gags

    Limar 909 was about the only one that fitted me, everything else seemed to
    sit on top of my head

    not the fifteen GWB proposes.

    Big nuts of the world unite! I wore an XL Giro Helios until I got an XL Limar F107. The Testagrossa is good to 64cm, the Limar 909 (price? if you've got to ask, you can't afford it!) the same.
