So i had ordered some ZAP helmet pads, and i guess my head is to fat. anyone know a good 1/4" to 1/2" foam thats not cheap open cell upholstery stuff?

Go to Home Depot/Lowes and get some weather trimming foam. They come in all sorts of widths and it's just a matter of cutting and sticking them into place. I use that in my bucket and it works just fine.

Did you get the 1" pads? You might still be able to use them, just not all, and you would just have to strategically place them so your head fits. If it still doesn't work, then what Dart said.

so. i sent back the 60 bucks worth of 1" ZAP pads.... and on my way home from the post office, i stopped at an Army/Navy surpplus sotre. and guess what... they had single 3/4" pads for 1 buck each! WOOT! they did not have the round one, but i was able to use some foam i used to rebuild my porsche interior with.... works fantastic. i was thinking of adding the chin strap but i have to figure out how to make it removable (snaps)... its hard to take off the helmet with it sewn on.
