You may also want to try NaroEscape Motorsports. I purchased my new helmet from them at a BMW HPDE in SC. They are located in the Charlotte, NC metro area and are BIG Porsche enthusiasts and involved with many track events, data analysis, coaching, and the PCA. They know their stuff.

Helmet
When it comes to helmets you want to protect what little brains we have left!
lightness is a key factor. Cornering and braking g’s will make your head feel very heavy!
i’m always amazed how people cheap out on a helmet! When it’s the most important piece of safety equipment!
also important to get it fitted properly. I like this Stilo one. You can also get it wired for a communicator.
also use a balaclava (get a few)which will save the inside of the the helmet

Racequip entry level SA 2020 helmet is $169.00 when you can catch it on sale at Summit Racing. Perfect for the weekend amateur driver at HPDE or AX. Followed the fitting instructions and mine fit perfectly. Just remember to “measure twice, cut once”.
