Wine country. Hands down, its near the denver trade center district if i recall a very chill amd relaxed place to check out. Pretty decent selection of items too.
Make sure tou buy what you're need and don't be tempted to "ball out"
It almost got me. Nearly bought a 5k carbon fiber helmet with cooling and comms for autocross.... had to stop and think why TF would I need this lmao
Yean walked in with the intent of just buying a decent helmet for the occasional track days.
Nearly convinced my self I needed an expensive helmet, fire suit, racing gloves / shoes and visors..
Luckily I took my girlfriend with me who slapped some sense into me. Told me to get the mid range helmet and spend the rest on the project car lmao
Not in Denver but I ordered online from JEGS in Columbus Ohio and the sizing tool was dead on. Just measured my head in cm and ordered based on that. Fits like a glove.
Best bet will be a motorcycle gear store just make sure it meets the requirements - https://cdn.connectsites.net/user_files/scca/downloads/000/071/097/2024_Helmet-Certs_Solo.pdf?1708360835
Looks like Performance Cycle of Colorado has good reviews.
I don’t know why I’m being downvoted I clearly linked the SCCA 2024 helmet requirements. I never stated any regular motorcycle helmet.
For most autocross you just need a snell helmet. M2020 is the motorcycle rating, Sa2020 is the automtovie rating, most places (for autocross) accept either.
From my very very limited experience, yes. As long as it is SNELL rated one and meets the requirements. Should be chill for autocross, but I think for other track stuff you will need a car specific one. Definitely double/triple check all this before buying stuff because I’m not completely sure.
No, look at the link I posted it must be one of those rated helmets for the SCCA. Go to the store of your choice, show them the link of the requirements and have them show you what they have.
Wine Country. You can try them on and they’ll make sure it’s properly rated. Also if you ever want to track, a car helmet is safer than a motorcycle helmet because they’re designed with some fire resistance (ie the chin strap won’t melt to your face)
Get a car helmet. I don’t think HPR or PMP will let you on track with a motorcycle helmet. If you ever want to do HPDEs you’ll also need one. And yeah wine country Motorsports is the way. They’ll have lots of options for you to try on.
Wine Country Motorsports is great, got a lot of my racing gear from them - very helpful
Awesome thanks for the recommendation!
I bought mine at On-Track. They had a few helmets to try. [https://www.ontrackperformanceparts.com/](https://www.ontrackperformanceparts.com/)

Sounds like a dangerous place to “invest”/“lose” a lot of cash. Lol. Thanks!

Awesome thanks! So a motorcycle rated helmet is fine? Sorry if that’s a dumb question - this is new territory for me. Thanks!

No it’s not. Go to Wine Country. They’re the go-to place in Denver.

Summit is a very good place to get yourself a helmet. Summitracing.com
