Anyone else out there with a ridiculously large 7 7/8 size head? Which one did or didn't work?

Yes! I had this concern prior to purchasing this hat and much to my suprise it fit really well, it will loosen up a little after wearing for a little while.

I have a pretty big head too. Not sure what my hat size is, but it fits me with plenty of room to spare. It's a really nice helment for the price.

As far as I can tell, the drop-down is telling you that there is only one universal size. If it is tight, soak it first, then put it on your head and it will stretch out slightly. My head is large, but I have no problem with the size (although it is very snug).

Adults! I have a HUGE head and I bought a large. Then used the medium padding to get the right size :)

My son has a normal to large head. I measured it today at 23 3/4". Given the amount of velcro on the straps, 21" would fit. It's just a matter of adjusting all the straps to get the best fit. I looked everywhere and couldn't find a sizing guide for their headgear, but here's the one for every other thing they make http://www.cliffkeen.com/Catalog/Global.aspx?PageID=SizingInformation I'd call them direct for more info 1-800-992-0799. I called, but the office was closed. Good luck!

I found the large to be too large. Would agree with the advice to refer to the fitting guide on the tilley page. Love the hat!

It didn't stay on my head, however I'm large and me head is sort of odd shaped. You may have better luck.

I have a head that size as well. It took a slight modification to fit my head because I have a long face. If yours is rounder than squared then it will fit as is.

Sorry so late to reply, but I just now saw this. I have a pretty big head (hat size 7 3/4) and these fit fine. They go around the back of your neck, not over the crown of your head. It's possible your head might be too wide, ears too far apart (everyone's head is shaped differently), but they work fine and are very comfortable on my big head.

The head band was to small for my head. My hat size is 7 and 5/8ths. I brought it to the attendion of the vendor, and they send me a new one. Problem is it is the same size. It can only be adjusted smaller. Problem is it is too small to begin with.

They do adjust outwards for larger heads, but even at their smallest I find them to be slightly too big. (I have a small head, too.)

According to the manufacturer the max head size is 8, however, there is a pin lock strap on the top which you can adjust. This will make it larger but they could not give me a definate yes or no as to whether or not it would fit you. Hope this answers your question.

Hi, there are basically three sizes, the regular, the long (in black only) and XXL (in black or tortoise only). The regular (we sell them in black, tortoise or clear frame colors) are offered in one width only. Did you know that the temples are adjustable. You can pull the temple out a bit from the retainer strap to adjust it perfectly to your head size. These fit well on a wide variety of head sizes. It's very rare to have one be 'too large' for a customers head. Typically, we get the question that it's too small, in which case we refer them to the XXL size. Try adjusting the temple length, that should do the trick! Best, Neil at Reading Glass World.

I'm not sure, man, but I'm afraid these guys from Oral are no stupid. As far as I've experienced, each head is precisely designed to NOT fit other product than that one it was supposed to fit.

I'm sure you can find that on the Ovation site. I will say I measured my head and am a 6 and 7/8 size. With my very first helmet that was fine. But with the 2 troxel helmets I had a small was too tight. The Ovation fits wonderfully - it is a small/medium. I do know, now, that some helmets are better fitted to oval heads, and some to round. Best way - find a tack shop and try them on.

I didn't have trouble... I actually have a small head (I know, weird... but I buy my hats in the youth section), but I didn't find it a problem. My husband has the mens' version of this, and he has a large head (wears 8 1/4" baseball cap) and he didn't have any trouble. I think that the material must stretch enough that it isn't a problem.
