In reply to Rob E.. Yes, it's the use of "exempt." As long as REI plans to wave the sales tax on bike helmets of $50 or less, I reckon that's the place to go.

I’m pretty sure what that means is that helmets are considered sporting equipment and, therefore, are tax-free if they are under $50.00 just like any other piece of sporting equipment.
They are specifically listed as being included on this list: http://www.dornc.com/taxes/sales/holiday_4-08.pdf
What’s confusing, I think, is the use of the word “exempt” which, in this case, means (I think) “exempt from tax,” but could be read to mean “exempt from inclusion in the tax-free weekend.” But that linked document seems to clear that up, as does this, from REI:

Where they specifically mention bike helmets up to $50.00.
