The most common solution would be to try a motorcycle dealer, which usually will have a retail helmet display. This would be useful to get introduced to various styles, and especially to evaluate fitment, so that you may be able to order proper sizes. When one is looking at well-made, SNELL certified helmets, there are many similarities between motorcycle and auto racing styles. In many cases, the only difference between the "M" and "SA" rating is the addition of NOMEX content for fire protection. They often share shell construction, fit, and crush characteristics. The differences do become more distinctive when one looks at the very best ($1,000 and up) helmets. But, the helmets in the mid-price range, say $200-$500, are similar in many ways.
It is definitely tough to find a brick-and-mortar motorsports retailer that has a large range of helmets available for try-on.
