Does anyone know where a brick-and-mortar store around Riverside and San Bernardino and Orange counties that sells racing helmets? I know know there's a ton of online stores out there but I wanna personally see and feel 'em so I'm looking for local ones.

Preference in locations:
1) Riverside County
2) San Bernardino County
3) Orange County
4) Los Angeles County
5) San Diego County

 

I tried on a few helmets and purchased one at The Bell Store. Give them a call and let them know you want to go into the store and try some on. When I went, they didn't charge tax on cash sales. They carry Bell, Pyrotect and HJC - I'm not sure what else.

try extreme supply in long beach. lots to try on. it's cheaper than the online prices, and if you bring cash, they'll hook you up.

wait for the next SPARCO (irvine, ca) sale and pick one up for $100 like i did... brand new!

 

I believe SuperAutobacs sells racing helmets?

 

^ Yup Autobacs has helmets and at pretty good prices too!

 

I've just browsed through autobacs, but from what I saw they have very limited selection and even fewer SA rated helmets.

 

Cool. Thanks for all the replies!

I haven't looked through all of them yet, but, with a quick look, this one caught my eye. Carbon Fiber. But, it's for $899. Damn.

 

^ i dont know about all that lol

 

Just remember to not be tempted by the cheaper pricing of the M-rated helmets. Some organizations will require SA-rated helmets in order to run with them.

The open faced ones are probably the cheapest SA ones you can buy. But if you really want a full faced one to look cool (hey I did), then the model that Pyrotect offers is probably your cheapest bet.

But definitely try them on and make sure it fits, that's the most important.
