Default Helmet

I'm looking to pick up 2 new smalley helmets. Would like them DOT but as small as possible. Any thought or suggestions and where's good to buy? I'm eying Skid Lid right now.

Check out the ACC helmets at www.carbonfiberhelmets.com

They've been getting rave reviews on this site (do a search to see) and I'm thinking about picking one up for myself.

I have a nexl and am not to crazy about it. Its a little bigger than what i'm used to. I have one of acc's helmets on order and am interested to see how it turns out. As for full face I have a hjc cl-sp probably the lightest full face helmet i've ever tried on. Its perfect for cool to cold weather riding around here.
