Good morning I am searching all over for a helmet. I am a big guy and I’m reading everyone’s posts and going to all these different sites and just not finding a helmet available. Is there anywhere that someone can suggest ? Thank you for your time , Dave

For a strong guy (

) , a Rubies would work. I'm 6'2 and 250 lbs with a fairly large head, and I have lots of room in mine. Way more that my new WTF shadow guard bucket. Finding one might be a bit of a challenge though. But not having to sand/paint/sand/sand again to make one, it's worth it lol!

Yeah we are about the same size I’m 6’3 and 270. I have been looking everywhere. I seem to only find ones from eBay that come from India. I’ve been looking for rubies or a Don. I didn’t think it would be this hard to locate one. But I do appreciate your response.

Have you tried Amazon, of all places?
I got a resin-cast helmet first, but it was way too small for me so I ended buying a Rubies ultimate from Amazon. I just had to replace the visor and add some fans and its served me well thus far.

I use a Rubies myself. 6'4" bigger guy. Aside from modifying the visor to have a little more airflow and adding some fans i've found it rather comfy. I also put some foam on the top/sides of the top to kind of cushion my head.

Another +1 for the Rubies, if you can find one. I also got mine off Amazon, but it's been a few years now. Just did a quick check and didn't see any currently, but doesn't mean they won't pop up from time to time. Maybe setup a search on Ebay?
I also switched out the visor, added fans and some foam and it fits great.
I had been eyeing the Anovos/Denuo Novo one, cause I like how it looks, but just couldn't justify the price. If I can ever find one at a discounted price, I still might try it out. But I have heard it's a tad smaller than the Rubies. I would love to do a comparison.

I ordered a Denuo Novo helmet and it came in so small my head didn’t go past the neck. Not knocking the quality of the helmet, it was awesome, just too small and it’s only one size fits all. A small heed of warning.
