You might want to check out a local motorcycle shop, it's always best to try them on before you buy. FYI, there are 2 kinds of helmets that RTR approves-- M or SA rated. The SA rated helmets have a Nomex-lined, fire-retardant liner (which if you have any future aspirations of racing is required) and the M is not. I've gotten mine online once I tried some on and decided on size, style and manufacturer:

Also, for Sunday the SCCA has loaner helmets albeit they are bright neon colors so no one takes them home
Quote:I am going to autox coming up in Warminster and still don't have a helmet. I would rather get my own and try it on before buying. Are there any local shops which sell Snell 2005(want to use it for DE as well) helmets? Thanks a lot.
