Places to buy autocross helmet near NoVA? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I have a pretty big dome, so I basically have to try on any head gear before buying it. Any one have any recommendations as far as places to go with a good helmet selection?

I'm located in NoVA, but I also spend a lot of time near Rockville, so anywhere on that 495/270 corridor is preferable.

Coleman in Falls Church, VA

It's a motorcycle/scooter/jet ski place but they have many DOT/SNELL Helmets.

I recommend HJC

as they're affordable and I also have a large head. I got an XXL HJC Cl-17 helmet for autocross and I think I got it for $120.00 and its Snell-2010 & DOT compliant. Tried many on and the staff was helpful about sizing and even ordered me a colored one to match my car

OG Racing.

OG Racing ftw. Staff knows what they're talking about, plenty to choose from. Worth the trip

OG Racing, again. They've got a great selection, and they'll make sure you're fitted properly.

Picked up my Bell SA2010 helmet at OG Racing. I was able to try on a few for best fitment and then I bought inserts that made it fit even better!

Looks like I'll have to go to OG Racing then!

Thanks guys.

Good chance to stop by Mach V and get things too. Always something you need there. Right up the road from OG.

OGracing has a store at Summit Point and another in sterling I think. They have pretty good prices on SA helmets in case you ever decide to step up to HPDE or track days. Then you have fire protection as an added bonus

Yup! Stopped by Mach V and OG Racing today. Picked up an SA2010 helmet at OG Racing, and they were super helpful in sizing a helmet for my giant dome.
