Helmets on lots of websites (motosports, moose racing, etc.) have?

bike helmet x-large image

I am not a

small, medium, large, x- large, etc.

I'm 5'11" about 180Lbs. normally proportioned . I know I would need at least a large, how much of a difference is there between large and x-large...would an x-large be too loose compared to a large?

Answer
unless you know EXACTLY your size and the fittings of the brand you're looking at don't buy online. go to a local bike shop and try some on; best of all you're supporting local business

Is there any helmets that come in X-large, or anything that would fit very large hair underneath of it?

I have a fairly new guy friend who wants to come and see what it's like to ride horses. He has dreadlocks though, and I guarantee none of the helmets at my barn or any of the helmets I own would fit on his head....

His dreads aren't too long though. They aren't like, Capt Jack Sparrow long or Bob Marley long. Maybe this long: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2268/3786148531_369e199f8b.jpg

Either way, I know that a helmet isn't going to fit on his head...
He's over 18 so technically he wouldn't have to wear a helmet, but I refuse to be responsible for that because he has never ridden before in his life. So I am not going to be the one that puts him on a horse without a helmet!

Do they special make large helmets? Has anyone had to deal with a student that needed a larger helmet?

He really wants to come with me, so I'm sure he would buy a helmet for it as long as it's not extremely expensive.

Answer
they do make XL riding helmets (we have them where i volunteer) but i highly doubt you'll find one big enough to fit over dreads. dreads don't really...squish down...if you know what i mean. you can't just shove a helment over them like you can thick hair.

you guys can try farm and fleet, some have larger sizes, but most only carry S & M.

i guess your best bet (if your only other option is riding helmet-less) would be to get a skate boarding helmet. it's more heavy-duty than a bike helmet and you're fairly likely to find one that will fit over dreads.

edit: yeah meagan, what do you think riding is!? we've got our own lingo & world-get with it :P
