Suomy MR Jump is ~1000g
Anything made by Airoh is pretty light

Most European helmets are lighter because the ECE standard is different to the american snell/DOT testing. I think Snell/DOT use a helmet test more suitable for road type crashes, so the helmets are denser therefore heavier.

Got the new Klim "stealth" through the company. Very light and vented. Not sure they are selling publicly yet. I was also impressed with Kali.

The airoh aviator hands down IMO.

I bought a Mr. Jump as my third Suomy helmet and unfortunately it doesn't fit my head. The shape of the foam is completely different that previous Suomy helmets...probably good for someone with a narrow head rather than a rounder head. However, the helmet is rediculously light. I wish I could try on an Airoh helmet...its nice that we have an American distributor for those now.

+1 on the AIROH.

The AIROHs have the same fit as an Arai.

Love my Suomy, but wish I had been able to try on an Airoh first since they get such rave reviews from owners.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of the top of the line helmets that are known for their lightness.

My next helmet is a Suomy. Got a Scorpion now and its ok but after feeling how light the Suomy is, I am sold on it.

Would you like to sell it and if so what size?

Love my Suomy, way lighter than my shoei and my neck love it.

I have heard and read great things about 6D Helmets. Anyone here have one?
They are very expensive!!!

Just picked up a Fox V4 from www.bikebiz.com.au in Australia. 380 and free shipping. Bargain! Weighs ~2kgs and looks and feels great.

I'm excited to try a 6D as well. I think they sound like a really cool technology

I would have, but my husband started wearing it and it doesn't take many rides in Oklahoma for the red dirt to stain a helmet.

I have been wearing a Vemar. The same company that brings in Sidi boots sells Vemar and I was told it was light and had really good ventilation. I have been using it for about 3 months and really like it. I tried it out yesterday with a pretty hard crash at a hare scramble and it did it's job.

+2 for the Airoh
My Stealth is so light I thought it had fallen out of the box before I picked it up at the post office.

Airoh Aviator get's my thumbs up. When I need to replace it i will get another.
