Default New Helmets.

I have been looking for a new MX style helmet. I ordered a helmet from Rocky Mountain ATV and they have been great. I used to wear a large. So that is what I ordered. I got the Answer Nova helmet and loved it except when I tried to get it off. The bottom opening is way to small. Sent it back and got an x-large. Still too small. Sent it back and got an xx-large, No better. I have noticed the bottom opening is no bigger. Way to small for me. The x-large is the right fit but I need a bigger opening in the bottom. Can anyone tell me any helmets that have the bigger bottom opening? Where I live there is just small shops and they don't keep very many helmets in the shop so I don't get to try many on and all seam to be the same.

I should have said I have a big round head. Not oval at all. That is the problem.

I got one of HJC's CL-Max II helmets. Welcome to HJC Helmets I usually put it on by flipping up the chin bar which gives me more room for my fat head. You can also try an open face style but that won't protect your chin as well.

Same HJC helmet I wear when I ride the old Honda. Open it up to put in on my fat head and then my glasses so I can see where I'm going and shut it down. Has good ventilation. Only thing is don't leave it in the heat,bottom padding is starting to crack on mine. Probably gonna get another one,but will keep it in the house,not the garage. Had a lot of helmets to choose from at the shop and this seemed to be the best for me. OPT
