Road cycling helmets for big heads?

[SpuddyJones]

I've got a big head.

I currently use an old Boardman MTB Helmet which fits fine but is a little worn. I recently popped into Decathlon to spend a voucher I have and none of the helmets would fit my massive head. The large ones go up to 61cms I believe.

Any recommendations? Happy to spend up to £100.

I like my Specialized Echelon helmet, the size large fits 61-63cm heads. RRP is £50 but I'm sure there are deals to be had.
There is a black one here reduced to £40

A Met helmet failed Which? testing and Met refused to recall it. When I used to use a helmet, I never used a Met. http://road.cc/content/news/62272-which-stirs-helmet-debate-product-test

I've got a Specialized Max XL which fits my big head nicely and doesn't look like a mushroom perched on top either. Evans currently have them at £30.

It replaced a Bell XLV that did the job but didn't look too good.

I wouldn't know, I don't wear the things. I only know Met do big-O sizes.

You can get the yellow one on ebay for £24.00 in a large.

An eBay helmet? Because you don't think they can be damaged by improper handling or storage, or because you think mikeflyn373 and Hermes is as reliable at storage and handling as Evans's or Decathlon?

Decathlon, who use a column of boxed helmets to make goalposts for the Sunday late shift warehouse footy game? I don't expect any shop staff on or close to minimum wage to treat the merch with kid gloves behind the scenes.

Thanks all - will take a look at some of the suggestions.

The BHSI is a US site, so not all the options will be available in the UK.

Surprised the Decathlon ones don't fit. I'm 60cm and have this one

Fits fine. It's out of stock but I can't imagine their other helmets will be differently sized
