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.

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.

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.

+1 on the AIROH.
The AIROHs have the same fit as an Arai. |
