I picked my helmet up from I/O Port in Lafayette, CA along the 24 fwy on the way up to Walnut Creek if you're coming from Oakland area.
I/O Port Racing Supplies 14 Juniper Drive Lafayette, California 94549-3321 USA Phone Numbers: Local: 925-254-7223 Toll Free Order Line: 800-949-5712 He works out of his home, but he's stocked with gear and lets you try them on prior to purchasing. Pretty cool guy as I've met him again on the track after my helmet purchase. |

Not in the East Bay but worth the drive for the great selection of gloves, suits, helmets, etc.

I have known Ken, the owner, for years. He is very helpful and knowledgeable.

I/O Port is where I went. I was happy. Never heard a bad word about the other shops, though.
