Hey Everyone,

Not sure if anyone can help.. trying to track down a climbing helmet for my giant noggin.

Anyone still make anything that'll fit a 65cm or 66cm head?

Grivel stopped making the Salamander XL.. I've currently got a Black Diamond that goes to 64cm, but it's a bit too snug to be wearing for extended periods.

Thoughts and suggestions?

 

Thanks!

In reply to Al Mouat:

I went back to my old Edelrid Ultralight, which unfortunately is anything but.

However, it was, at the time, the only helmet that I could fit onto my 64cm head (I had to faff around with the chin strap since I had to pay out too much of the webbing, but that took a couple of minutes to remove one plastic clamp).

Should have bought a spare Salamander XL, as my problem is not so much head circumference but shape. My skull is rather long from occipital bone to brows, which is, according to a recent paper, associated with certain Neanderthal derived alleles (not joking!)
