Default Half helmet?

Where is the best place to order a dot half helmet? I hit a deer this morning and landed like a yard dart in the median. The helmet did its job but took a pretty good beating. I'm definitely going to replace it.
Thanks Mike

I've had great success with:

http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle-helmets

and

http://www.leatherup.com/l/Motorcycl...FUEmhgodljgNhw

Also, if you have the time, I've seen somes deals on E-bay. I got a $600+ Shoei for $450; but you need to be patient.

I'm with Revzilla too. Fantastic customer service and prices are good too. Just got a Bell Pit Boss 1/2 helmet from them.

I bought my Pit Boss from the local Harley dealer, exactly the same price as online. At least there I could try them on and get one that was comfortable before I purchased. Also made the decision to switch the tinted shield to a clear and they put it on for me right there.

Akoury is a great half for me. They have a sale on some of their helmets now and include shipping. One of the thinnest and lightest around.
