    Yeah. Seems I'm always having trouble squeezing my head into things.

    Is that why you shaved your head?

    Hear is a fitment guide you might find interesting. Motorcycle Helmet Fitment 101
    Some quotes from it.
    "The DOT also regulates helmet size and it makes clear in FMVSS 218 that the testing is only valid for a properly sized helmet."
    "You read that correctly. If your helmet is out of the size range for your matching headform, all bets are off."
    My suspicion is what's comfortable and what is the correct fit might be two different things.

    I bought two helmets from Lazada already, one LS2 and one Bell. First I ordered was too small, sending back and getting one size larger was no problem. Though any helmet is better than none, I would not trust wanything below 5000 pesos (for a full face helmet). Open face helmets are a no-go in my opinion, if you go that route perfect fit isn't as important since it doesn't give much protection anyway.

    Having an XXL head, Lazada is the best bet as no dealers here stock this size. I remember the SM in Bacolod had a dealer with a lot of LS2 models but even there none above size L or XL.

    Right size helmet will feel a bit tight at first, but the cushions will give room so after "breaking it in" it'll be fine.

    Oh and my head measures 61.5cm, and I'm wearing XXL. You should in theory really be fine with an XL. Depends on the head shape however as well.
