Fiona Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Hello I'm looking for climbing helmet at least 64cm, and 65cm will be perfect. Anyone can recommend one? 65cm - 25.6 inch - 8 1/8 I have been going through vendor websites, but the largest I found is 63cm. Have already been to REI, none of the 63cm helmets can fit my head Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainmatt Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I wear a size 8 fitted hat, 64cm, 25 1/8". I found the Black Diamond Tracer helmet to fit on nice and tight. That is what I wear, but its definitely near the maximum for me. The Grivel Salamander helmet is supposed to only be 62cm, but I found that I could put it on. I decided not to get this helmet as it was pretty warm. Although I have never tried it on and its hard to find, the HB helmet is supposed to be good for cranially gifted people: http://www.climbing.com/print/equipment/hbd/ If you end up finding a great helmet that works, I would love to know if you find something else out there as well. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Grivel also makes a XL Salamander that should work. One color..steel gray but adjustable from 58-66 is the claim. I'm only a 61/7.5 and can easily do a regular Salamander with a hat and room to spare. I didn't find it too warm (didn't use it in summer though) but in comparison to a Meteor or Tracer it is heavy. Nice hard shell. Can't come close to wearing a BD Tracer though. Long oval head shape. Meteor III just barely fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I have a 64cm head and I fit fine into a Salamander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiona Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Thanks a lot! I've tried Black Diamond Tracer helmet, probably due to the round shape of my head, it squeezes a little on me. I'll give the XL Grivel Salamander a try. Appreciate all your suggestions!
