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.

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."Bill B" <[email hidden]> wrote in message

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.BentJay

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 -
