New helmet
Looking for a new lite weight helmet. Currently running a HJC,nice fit but a bit heavy. Any ideas

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.
