bay area helmet shops

[NinjaGaiden]

Hi Guys,

Gonna start doing some autoX, drift events, and track events before I decide to add any more mods to my car. I did some reading, and I would like to invest for the future and get S2000 helmet incase I decide to do track events.

Important issue I noted about helmets is to go and try them on before making a purschase. I was wondering if any of the bay area people know helmet shops that have helmets in stock so I can try them on. I'm looking for places in the San Jose area.

TIA

Frey racing up in milpitas area might has some helmets too... www.freyracing.com

I got mine off the internet, it's a little tight but still works fine. And you don't need SA helmets for autoX, most organizations accept M class helmets

Where I went to try on helmets...

Frey Racing - Fremont, CA (http://www.freyracing.com)

I know they have a variety of helmets but if they don't have the model/size you want, find a similar model and try a size, they're usually pretty similar. Had to do that w/ the Bell model I was interested in getting.
