Whats goin on BAIC,

Anyone recommend any good shops in SF or around SF that sell Simpson racing helmets? I'm planning to start to track my car soon and need to get a dome piece. I heard that Simpson helmets fit weird so I actually want to try one on before I buy it. Thanks in advance guys. See you on the track soon.

why simpson? i go up to wine country motorsports b/c of their selection and since i used to work in marin.

 

I have used a moto helmet for years, just threw out my 3rd one. Since I have a bike, it makes more sense I guess.

 

me too. I wear my MotoX helmet with visor autoXing

I just chose Simpson cause I'm a noob and that's the first brand that comes to mind. I'm open to other suggestions. What do u guys prefer?

 

I've had 3 helmet brands in the last 4 yrs.

Bell: Models M2 and Sport 3, Reasonably priced but on the heavy side. (used it for AutoX and Motorcycle). Average price between $250-$400
Sparco: WTT-KF, Lightweight, big eye port, best helmet imo so far. On the pricey side $899 each, but can get em on sale for as low as $450
Arai: SK5, Similar to Sparco but Kart specific..$600

* I go to WineCountryMotorsports to get fitted and unless they have them there on sale, I buy it online because it's much cheaper...

 

that's where i got my helmet, good guys there!

It all depends on the shape of your dome man.... i fit Arai and Suomi perfect... but Shoei and Icon type helmets fit like crap...

 

I have the awkward asian head...sorta like a retarded mushroom

 

Would this one work out for you?
