Default Good place to buy and test fit a helmet

Hey guys,

Im going to a track day at Laguna in april and need a helmet because they dont rent em there so i was wondering if there is a good place in the bay to get one?
I know they have good deals online but I actually want to test fit one and make sure it fits good and snug.

Thank you in advance

Ilya

cycle gear in sf has a good selection, and roadrider in san jose does as well

you can test fit helmets at any store, it's best to wear it for a while and walk around the store in it, so that you make sure it doesn't have pressure points or gives you a headache

Thanks!

Do those places have open face road racing helmets? I know that regular bike helmets dont meet the standards for a road corse...

Or am I wrong?

Personally I cant wear anything except Suomys so I go to Motostrano which carries pretty much everything.

Arai, Suomy, Shoei, and AGV are all good and a good way to leave your wallet empty.
