    Helmets for tall heads?

    Due to my gigantic brain, my head is tall. This means that most helmets leave me with massive gaper gap. Can anyone recommend a helmet for those of us with deep-dish domes?

    (This leaves me with one of those XL Bern G helmets from steepandcheap. It's a great helmet, still new in box. Selling at cost: $44.)

    I just picked up a Bern Baker (yea, i know, not a helmet). But it claims to have a "sink fit" which lets it sit lower on the head. I have a hard to fit head. Most helmets make it look like i have a bubble on top of my head, But this bern sits pretty low. Its nice. I had to modify the stock earflaps as they didnt feel right on my head, but it wasnt hard. You just need a sewing machine.

    japollner: the G claims the same "sink fit". It looks and feels fine, until I put on goggles. Then...massive gaper gap. Usually I solve that by tilting the helmet forward, but something about the G's fit doesn't let me do that.
