  1. Hoo-Ray
    I finally found a good looking Helmet to fit my Big Head. My previous
    Big Helmets were the Bell King Head Helmets. I used these Helmets for
    winter riding only because they were the only helmet that would allow
    me to wear a tobbogan cap or a baclava??. Heck the helmet will even
    fit over my Down Parka hood. My spring,summer and fall [large]helmet
    finally fit after I took out all of the faom pads. Even then it was a
    tight fit but after a few seasons the Styrofoam liner formed to my
    head for a nice fit. I just got the Bell Sequoia Helmet which seems
    much nicer than the King Head . The Sequoia fit range is 57 to 64cm ,
    weighs 353g's and looks just like my old worn out warm weather helmet
    which is good because I never liked the looks of the white King Head
    Helmet. One feture about my new Sequoia that I really like is the red
    adjusting wheel that you turn to either loosen or tighten the helmet
    which will be great when wearing winter caps. Bike nashbar sells this
    helmet.

  2. Instead of trying to wear a cap underneath, I got a helmet cover (they are
    like shower caps for your helmet) and wore a knitted band to cover my ears.
    The good part is as I warm up, I peel off the helmet cover, and drop the
    band around my neck.

  3. I found my helmet cover to be indispensible while on tour last summer.
    It's good to keep your head warm in chilly weather, dry in wet
    weather, and non-sunburned in sunny weather! I see that Adventure
    Cycling now offers one with a rear neck cover too. Check out their
    on-line catalogue.

    Helmet covers are OK for chilly weather but they don't cut it for me
    when the temps get down in the 20s. I don't need a cover for chilly or
    temps above 32
