    What helmet will fit my giant head.

    I’m not as cool as I think I am and should really be wearing a helmet when I ski. I just have trouble finding one that fits my big head. I find most ski shops just have a few brands and they never fit or they don’t have xl or bigger to try on.Any large headed brother or sister that could point me in a good direction?

    Smith Variant for me, don't remember size offhand. Big though.

    Giro 9 FTW. The recent XL version fits my 7-7/8 dome. Been my goto helmet since 2002 though several iterations of their design, but IIRC those were XXL's. I think my current helmet has their MIPS adjustment system and it's just about maxed.
    I've concluded that DJSapp was never DJSapp, and Not DJSapp is also not DJSapp, so that means he's telling the truth now and he was lying before.

    Giant head over here.

    Smith Mission XL fits great. The MIPS version did not.

    Giro L or XL should fit even the biggest head, but good luck with hood compatibility. I’m now running a Pret and like it, has a lower profile.

    Gigantic head head here as well and for years Giro Range in a L was my go to helmet and fit really well... I am now rocking Sweet Protection Igniter II MIPS in XXL and is now my go to helmet... Fit is fantastic and love the venting and adjustability...

    I ordered a pro-tec size medium helmet this winter because it was time to replace my helmet, and i had to return it because it was too big for my head. I'm pretty medium for everything and previous helmet (not pro-tec) was medium and fit fine. I even measured my noggin and it seemed to me that it would fit based on the pro-tec sizing guide but it was still too big. So maybe pro-tec makes helmets for big heads?? Went with a POC size medium and that fits perfectly.

    I think I have an XXL Giro Nine somewhere. And a Smith Maze and Holt in XL.
    And for reference, I can wear a SnapBack hat unsnapped.
