Default Where do I GET a helmet?

I just spent the last hour going though the various posts about which helmet to get. There are a few bike shops in the area that I could find to get an M rated helmet, but I think it would be smarter to get an SA rated helmet at this point. I would like to go shopping for one, but I don't know where to look.

I am looking for Brick and Mortor type stores. I want to be able to try something on, and I really don't want to wait for shipping times. Ideally I would like to purchase something today.

Where should I go to get a helmet?

(BTW -- I am in the NW Suburbs of Chicago if anyone has any specific suggestions.)

www.soloracer.com Brett

HOWEVER, you might be better served by actually being able to try them on.

Did they have SA helmets? Or just M helmets?

My bad. I'm not "Hooked-on-Phonics."

So a better answer might be...

MFG, I had forgotten about Northstar. I was there many years ago with the Alfa club. Thanks for the reminder.

I ordered my sa2000 bieffe predator from saferacer.com. I basically got lucky with the size. I'd go to a motorcycle shop and try some on, then order it online to save some $$$.
