Helmet Shops
 

Hi Guys,
Any recommendations on where to buy helmets in so cal?

@HotLeopardMama bought hers here:

Cycle Gear



Address: 1391 S Lemon St, Fullerton, CA 92832

They let her try them on, in and out of the car. Just make sure it's rated for what you're using it for. She was able to get a Snell rated Shoei helmet on super-clearance.

Do not go to a motorcycle helmet shop, you will get a motorcycle helmet and not a car helmet....

Sube Sports and Racing Lifestyle are here in Orange County, or you can go to Werks II in Burbank

If you want hit big track events, avoid motorcycle shops, as they probably won't carry many (or any) helmets with both Snell SA & M certs. SCCA Solo Autocross is okay with M cert only, but big tracks require the SA cert.

You can look up brands with Snell SA2010 certification here: Helmet Certification Lists. Mine is M2010 certified, but I don't plan on doing any big track events pretty much ever.

You also might find this site helpful.

Do you know your size? OG Racing.com is a great place to look also.

simpson has a walk in store in Torrance but it is only 9-5 m-f so...hard to get to when open since closed sat and sun.

look up simpson world. Also I second subi sports if you are in that area.

Damn I wish I knew about this - I was looking for a Simpson :(

OP
I got my helmet at Extreme Supply in Signal Hill

2650 E. 28th Street
Signal Hill California
90755
P: 800-499-5042

what about in the 805 are there any around me ?

I bought mine at Sube Sports in Huntington Beach. They stock several brands and sizes, I went in person and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Helmet man in Costa Mesa. Ask for Jeff. Real friendly guy.

I'm in so cal, but bought mine from a shop in Scottsdale AZ since I frequent there as well...awesome shop.
