Good helmet for a FAT HEAD.

Ok, so I want a helmet that's big enough to "steezely" fit on my 60cm in diameter head while I where a thin beanie. Any ideas which one's would be good? I'm assuming I should go with a XXL of some kind, but if there are any helmets out there that are MADE for beanies to be worn underneath, post'em up. Thanks guys. . .

I also have a friend with a huge dome who uses a Smith helmet, I think that Smith's helmets run slightly bigger than many other brands.

60cm diameter? that's a worldrecord for sure!
i hope you meant circumference....

i have a fairly big head as well and i have a rossignol B-squad; it comes in sizes 54-56-58-60-62

so if you get the 62 you still have 2cm circumference to put a beanie in between....

Haha! My bad dude! You are correct, I DO NOT have a head circumference of 188.5 cm, It's just 60. I had already taken my ambien last night when I made the thread, so I wasn't thinking very clearly. But hey, I appreciate all the tips, y'all. +K for all.

I agree with the above posts, I too have a big head and have found that Smith helmets fit me the best. I have the Variant Brim in large, other helmets like Bern I was looking at in XXLs.

I like the Shiv helmet a lot. It looks tight and the site says it really IS made for wearing a beanie and goggles underneath. it also says that the large size goes from a circumference of 59" to 62.5". Seems like it would work? Confirmation?

i have an absolutly massive head and the XXL bern baker is a little bit on me im sure you could fit a thin beanie inder it. bring your beanie do a shop and just try on some helmets with it

I have a big noggen too, 59cm, and am, rocking a L Giro Encore.  I have a Line Focus beanie and some splices under it.  With the smallest padding in it fits decent, but I could probably use an XL
