Large bump/ballistic helmets with the front mount

rDigital Member Joined May 2010 Posts 1847 EE 100% (10) OH, USA	Posted: 8/10/2024 4:15:29 PM EDT I unfortunately have a large head. 26" circumference equates to ~ 8-1/8 hat size. I have not found any helmet that is in this size. I've checked Team Wendy and a few others. Is anyone in the know on such things? I'm looking to build out a whole rig with a PVS-14 unfilmed WP L3 tube on a Wilcox mount.

An Ops-Core or Wilcox three hole shroud mount will prevent moving or twisting.

This helmets bring back some memories. My first GQ station was wearing one of those. They were not the most comfortable thing ever on my head.

Thanks for helping with all of the answers. My wife had a type of tape measure that I've never used before. It has a compensated value for using it with a fixture to measure stuff. When you don't use it the right way(like me), you get a much bigger number.

I have a big head, but when properly measured it's only 24" around.

Thanks for the help, guys. I ended up getting a Team Wendy Exfil in Size 2.
