One that fits. And that's no joke. Some brands fit some head shapes better than others. You need to try a few on.

I wish I knew where to go to find a 3X to try on in the Atlanta area.

About all I can do is mail order and hope. Problem is if course I have to eat return shipping.

I wish I could find a good 3/4 helmet in a nice gold or silver metalflake or an American flag motif, but I haven't found them larger than a 2X.

BTW, has anyone tried a Daytona brand helmet? They seem to have a pretty good selection at decent prices.

I have several half helmets, but the Harley "Blade" with internal shield is my favorite.

Recently got one made by "Arkoury" Carbon fibre, very slim for a legal lid.

I got the Gmax half without the visor....

Got mine off ebay new...cheap.

I've got the GM55S and I absolutely love it. The peak is pretty useless, but the internal sun-visor is great. And it fits my head nicely. Also comes with the apron to cover the ears and neck when it's cold out.

I use the Men's Half Helmet with Retractable Sun Shield that the dealer reccomended. The visor is good for early mornings or dusk when it is not bright enough for my shades.
