How about going to a motorcycle dealer and buying a helmet?

I have a Snell 2005 approved open face helmet. I live in Garden Grove and you are welcome to barrow it.

Contact me via cell (714)473-1137

BTW, motorcycle helmets are not approved for track days or any auto events.

That's not correct... Most of the SoCal track days allow motorcycle helmets, although they recommend SA helmets.

This is not correct for most track day organizations. Motorcycle helmets with Snell rating are usually approved.

SA is the rating for auto road racing. Snell is a motorcycle helmet certification. If you race SCCA, NASA et al, you will need an SA 2010 or newer helmet. Snell 2010 or newer is OK for Speed Ventures, Speed District, etc.

There's a place in Costa Mesa called "the helmet man". thehelmetman.com
Or try racing lifestyle. I think they are down in your area. Racinglifestyle.com
Good luck. Mike
