My significant other and I are set to do the PCA Performance Driving School later this week. Instead of renting helmets, Iwas thinking about biting the bullet and buying. I've Googled as best as I can, but can't find a place in San Diego that sells Bell, Gforce or whatever. I suppose that I could look at motorcycle helmets that are SA2000 and meet the autosports requirements- there are enough cycle shops here.
Can anyone point me to a walk-in place where I can try and buy?
Thanks,
John Ross

I don't think you'll find any auto rated helmets (the "A" in "SA") in motorcycle shops. I've only seen "M" (motorcycle) rated helmets in bike shops. But no ideas from me.

I don't think I've seen shops that sell "SA" helmets off the shelf. I've mail-ordered helmets directly from Simpson or OGRacing in the past (Racer Wholesale also is a good source). Their fitting guides work pretty well.
I'll let you find their web sites; you're a big boy.
Adn if you have to struggle to get your head in, but DO get it in, it's probably NOT tight!
