Where to buy auto helmet in Chicagoland?

I have a participant who would like to try on a variety of auto helmets before buying. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

I know it's not the closest to Chicago but if you are driving that way, Lane Automotive
(http://www.laneautomotive.com/ 8300 Lane Drive Watervliet, MI 49098) carries Impact, Bell, HJC, Simpson and some other brands.

OP, I got a Impact 1320. Make sure you find a good helmet and it's important you either buy from a physical helmet store (ensure proper fitment and comfort) or buy online from a store that lets you return with minimal expense.

Some fitment tips http://www.soloracer.com/helmettech.html
