Helmets

It turns out that unbeknownest to me, I bought a motorcycle helmet when I first was doing track days. Most places don't seem to care but I just saw that the Buttonwillow event on 7/1 does care. I don't think I can make that event anyway but I think I do want to now get a real (SA) driving helmet. Problem is - where to go? When I bought the motorcycle helmet, I spent a long time in the store trying on different helmets. Its definitely not one size fits all and even if I know my size, I still find subtle differences. These things aren't cheap - especially the SA versions. I see that Bell and Simpson have relatively cheap SA versions but I want to try before I buy. I'm in the South Bay - anyone know a place to try them on?

I know of at least one Fchatter that has used this place.

As well, This user is known to do some pretty nice custom paint jobs............


Good Luck~

Any places closer to the south bay? Helmet City wasn't open on the weekend (according to their 800 number). I'm assuming one can go there to try on? Still, its a bit far a drive to go during the week.

I believe Art has the type you want. You may want to send him a PM for his reply.
