Looking for suggestions for a decent XL cycle helmet - I need something that will fit up to 65cm and ideally be suitable for road and off road riding (so possibly a detachable peak).

My current helmet is a Bell XLV (the only one I could find to fit when i bought it), which while it does the job is neither sleek nor particularly aesthetically pleasing, perched on my head like a giant black beetle. ^_^

I've tried searching on line, but oddly websites like Wiggle will let you narrow a search by price, colour and ratings, but not by size, which makes it a bit of a chore.
 
This is a US based site, so not all the advice is valid as not all will be available in the UK... equally you may not be able to try and ensure a good fit

Helmets for large heads.

How about the Max version of the Spesh Align. I have one as my mileage claim obligation helmet at work.

I'm an on/off helmet wearer and I find regular size Specialized units grotesquely uncomfortable on my temples, but this one is big enough to be fine for my round shape head.

It is a MTB / general helmet and quite mushroomy ( but at this size what isn't :smile: ) and very comfy. It secures to your head well, has your desired click off peak & is structured that lights or a camera are dead easy to fit if desired.

I took delivery of my new bontrager stravos yesterday - yet to road test it but I have the XL size and it fits nicely for me and doesn't look outrageous. No peak though I'm afraid (something I was looking for too)
