so i need a helmet that fits well and doesnt look stupid. i currently have a smith holt xl, and it fits decently, however it tends to not be long enough, and ends up sitting far back on my head. my problem is that i have a massive crown (is that it? the back of my head is huge), so things tend to sit farther back. so i need a helmet that is pretty deep. also i wear a 7 3/4 hat. any suggestions?

If possible go try some on at your local shop? Not really sure what brands run a bit larger than others.

Since someone was asking earlier about protective beanies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VDeJ7rLUYU

Ignite and Ribcap both make D3o hats that you can buy online.

I tried on my friend's and it sat pretty far back on my head. i have a pretty big crown too.

the poc receptor fits me pretty well.
