If you’ve got a large bonce, finding a helmet to fit properly can be an arduous task.

We’ve scoured through the helmets on the Sportsbikeshop website to find the best rated helmets in larger sizes, to help you find the one that perfectly accommodates your head.

Icon Airflite

If you’re a fan of extravagant paintschemes and more aggressively-styled helmets, American brand Icon are always a good choice. The Airflite comes highly recommended from customers, many of whom describe the helmet as light and comfortable, if a little snug when first putting the helmet on. The large field of vision afforded by the large visor aperture is also a plus-point among reviewers. The Icon Airflite is available up to 3XL (65-66cm).

HJC i90

For those in need of a flipfront helmet that’s not going to break the bank, Sportsbikeshop customers highly recommend the HJC I90, with several customers praising the helmet for its build quality and value. Reviewers also commented on the ease of use of the vents, as well as the airflow and effectiveness of the internal sun visor. Customers have noted that the special groove along the temples to accommodate glasses works well, and there’s plenty of room around the ears to comfortably fit an intercom system. The HJC I90 is available up to 3XL (64-65cm), but those sizes only come in matt black or glossy white.
