    Where To Buy Helmets/Fire Suit

     



    I'm needing to update my firesuit and helmet. I was wondering if anyone knows of a place that sells good quality helmets and fire suits with good prices in the Los Angeles area.

    My advice is to purchase at least your helmet from a local supplier. Have it fit properly and do not rely on some online "fit chart" as each helmet style fits differently.

    Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

    Most of the decent race parts stores should have somebody there that knows how to properly size and fit a helmet.... Of course this isn't important until the one time you actually put the helmet to it's test for fitment and quality!!!!!! Having taken a few of those helmet test rides and surviving a couple of big oil fires, I would highly suggest buying the top of the line products and stay away from the bargain basement cheap stuff. When you get your new safety equipment, take the time to read the instructions on how to care for it properly!!!!!!
