Going with a good modular (all Nolan modulars have metal hinges and metal fasteners) really helps glass-wearing guys. You can keep the glasses on when putting the lid on, then just close the front. The N104 I have is outstanding. And you can get a helmet that's properly sized, may well be you're an XL in truth. Or L...

No; I'm a XXL even with half helmets.

First one I bought was an XL, and I had a headache before the end of the first day of MC school. The second day was worse.

reminds me of the man who had to go to work wearing shirt and ties.the poor bastard never before had to wear a suit. and while working in the office noticed major pain in his precious twin glands until some doctor suggested ablation which provided major pain relief ,one day while buying new shirts he met a new sales clerk who noticed that he bought 38 neck sized shirts and the man said that is what he did for months upon which the brave girl answered a narrow neck shirt would make his gonads very swollen and painful...

Yep, obviously there are people with XXL heads or there wouldn't be XXL helmets.

Just saying that with such a huge majority of people going with overly large helmets etc one never knows without some serious fitting and trying multiple lid types and brands. Helmet shape can also have a huge impact on this, if you have a round head and get a long oval, the long oval will have to be several sizes over or it will squeeze your head on the sides and leave huge amounts of space back to front, etc.

I have a gigantic head, which pretty much limits me to HJC; which I don't mind. Got a XXXXL and its still kinda tight, lucky they make a XXXXXL.

Gotta call BS on that there 5XL head!
I wanna see a photo of your head and upper torso for comparison purposes.
$hit, you must have a lot of brains!

 

[Jarrod83]

Yes, I do have enormous brains and I also have a hairless spot on my head for added cooling. And yes, they do have a 5XL

 

[CanberraR3]

HJC pretty much the only brand I know off making helmets bigger than 3XL, and I've only ever heard of 4XL until now (and never seen one!).

 

[Rick McC.]

I'll have to look at mine; "HJC" sounds familiar.
