Default DE Helmet. Where to buy in Ottawa or Toronto?

I've signed up for the DE in mid-sept at Tremblant. but need a helmet. I've gone to Ottawa Goodtime Centre to at least try some on but all they have are motorcycle helmets. Shoei and Arai fit well-especially the Arai but no SA rating. Problem is I need XXL and AutoImport has SA rated helmets sizes up to XL but it was too tight. Where to find SA rated XXL?

I can mail order a helmet no problem but how do I know what it'll fit like?

I want to get a good helmet that fits comfortably and that ideally isn't too big (I'm 6'4"-head hitting ceiling liner). I don't mind paying a bit more for quality if it is required as I only have one head. Is a motorcycle helmet ok? I've read conflicting messages.

I'm going to be in Toronto for the ALMS race on Sat. & Sunday. Any shops down there carry the right helmet?

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Eric is a friend of my mom's former piano teacher actually. Eric, as well as a good number of members of the Rennsport region store their equipment in my yard at work in Ottawa.

I'm really looking forward to getting my car finally on the track.
