Default Where to buy a helmet in the Bay Area?

I've got my first DE coming in the beginning of September and need a helmet. Can anyone recommend where to go that has a selection that I can try on a few? I'm interested in a full face, maybe like a G-Force Revo or similar. Thanks.

I usually head up to wine country motor sports at the Sonoma track for my helmet needs. They have a nice selection on hand and can help you with proper fitting.

I have a Conquer open face helmet, model OF-S6, SA2015, size medium, white, that I used twice to try autocrossing that I'm about to put up for sale. It was teched for 2018. $100

Oops, just noted you want a full face helmet. I did DEs for about 15 years. I preferred the open face for ventilation.

I would second this, Wine Country Motor Sports has been helping me source my racing gear for a long time before I moved to NASCAR land. They have multiple brands of helmets and if you have never bought or been fitted before they will be sure to help you out.

This is BRracing....we are located in Los Gatos, very near you, and are an outlet for Wine Country Motorsports.
We have vast experience in both track days and racing (see our website / FaceBook page / Instagram if you are not familar with our background and experience), and we have several sample helmets to allow us to validate type and sizing.
We can then usually get any helmet within 2-3 days.

+1 for Wine Country - if they don't have it they can order it and and drop ship to you - same prices as online and they do offer discounts for various club members.

Thanks for all of the help on this. I'm going to visit BR and see what they can do, then Wine Country if I have to.
