Full face, open face or flip-up??

65cm??? 66cm!!!!!?

Far out. Them's damn big craniums.

I had hydrocephaly as a baby, but thankfully my cranium returned to normal fairly rapidly after some plumbing was performed. I think mine was around 60cm at 4 weeks old. It's 58cm now so maybe its just my brain shrinking.

The best collection of wisecracks aimed at the cranially challenged amongst is is in "So I married an axe murderer".
"A head so huge it looks like an orange on a stick" is a personal favourite...

So what are you wearing at the moment? I've had no luck with HJC fit-wise.
:disapint:

CL12 xxl Like I said when I first got it I had to go the skin route to get it on.

57-58cm here.....Shoei fits better than Arai. I was trying on MotoX helmets today - quite nice really.....

[Big Dog]

I don't have a big head, just motorcycle and accessory manufacturers assume no-one over 5'11 will ever want to ride.

Compared with the rest of me (seen from a distance) i look like I got a small noggin.

I would be more like a bowling ball sat on a bale of hay.

[What?]

I have a Nolan N100E Flip-up that is just bloody brilliant.

Me too. Also wear a N70E and a Star open face (in the dirt - not on the road).
The N100 is no heavier than many fibreglass lids on the market.

Currently wearing a HJC AC-10 King Mingus , gotta love that name

[sAsLEX]

Currently wearing a HJC AC-10 King Mingus full face , gotta love that name

Currently wearing a HJC AC-10 King Mingus full face , gotta love that name

As do I. With the 'eyes' in the back of the head. WTF does King Mingus mean anyways? those crazy Koreans.

I went for a Nolan 100E, seems no heavier than my HJC Z7. It's aerodynamically neutral, but a little noisy. Ear plugs fix that.
It's really convienient not to have to take your lid off in banks etc.
Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

2003 Arai Condor Blue Flagstar. Its got a flag and a star on it, and its blue. :confused2

Oh, Arai fits my strange head qute well, unlike a few others here. 57-58cm.

I've only ever worn an open face helmet in my old Harley riding days in Nth Queensland. These days purely full face. Don't care about graphics or brands so long as it keeps the brain from turning to soup.

I forgot to say that my size is 57cm, or medium in Shoei. Way way back Bell used to do their helmets in 1cm size increases - don't think anyone does that now but it was amazing how 1cm makes a diff - I used to wear a 57 and one of my mates wore a 56 and I could really tell the difference when I tried his on (of course his was shaped already to his head, but even so.....)

A couple of years ago I almost bought a Suomy - in Ben Bostrom graphics of course. It felt pretty good, but I decided it was stupid to buy a new helmet just because I lusted after the guy who used to have those graphics a season previously (and of course who probably didn't even know NZ existed, let alone me). I'm glad I didn't buy it, as talking with a couple of mates who'd bought them after having top of the line Shoeis, they said in their opinions the Shoei was a superior helmet.

I also wear earplugs. I find the odd short trip that I don't wear them, I get alarmed hearing all the noise coming from my engine and chain.

58cm here and I had a hell of a job trying to find somewhere where I could actually try a few different lids on.
Finally bought a Shoei XR1000 Size M, but if I had gone for the XR900 (old stock) I would have required a Large (totally different shell). Colour - plain old blue (to match the bike) and then I had it professionally graphic(ed) with the St Andrew's Cross and my name - totally wicked. Also had the bike done too - even more wicked.

My favourite lid is a Slight Replica Suomy. I don't use it so much now as Aaron autographed it for me at the Wanganui Cemetary Circuit road race 2002. Light and comfortable and would have no hesitation in purchasing another Suomy.
