Helmets for tall long heads?

I have a tall and long head and I am looking for a helmet that fits. On most helmets the straps are too short for me. I have an old 15+ year old helmet that works but I wanted to upgrade to a new helmet. Preferable a MIPS helmet. But so far I have not found one with long enough straps. Anyone else has a similar issue and found a helmet they can recommend? I don't need anything fancy.

Maybe make an extender from a buckle and strap of an old helmet. Airliners use seatbelt extenders similar in concept.
