So I looked into the helmet situation, trying to find a really light helmet. The HJC were at I think 1500grams and the Suomis are like 1250 which i think is like 3.17lbs not sure and the Arais are like 1250 grams. Thats really not much of a difference, but ai guess a little counts. Anything has to be better than my cl-14 bucket HJC which i think is 1500grams and 3.3 lbs. BUt for $500 damn thats so harsh (well the souami are so nice though)

If any you guys get bored and do some research and come up with a light helmet and any better price Id like to see it.

 

Try out this link. They compared all the motorcycle helmets by weight and listed results. I actually leraned something. WTF??? lol

see you can teach an old dog new tricks

 

ha ha ha.. sometimes did you see the price on that BMW helmet. 2lbs2oz. the lightest weight full face in the world. $1500!!! holy crap batman!!

 

interesting site. lots of good information on there.

 

My Schuberth S1 was 1789 grams [&o] I still love it though.

and 1500 bones for a helmet is kind of pricy

 

The best helmet I have ever had was a Vega. Cheap little helmet, but awesome. Lightweight, the lightest one I've ever had, no fogging, and fit my head perfect. I had a lot further turning range than my HJC, and a better fit too... I bet I have a pic somewhere of it, if you want it....

 

HEY BIGRIG, thanks alot, some really good info. I just ordered 2 of the BMW helmets $1500x2

Just KIDDING, but man if i was rich id do it in a heartbeat, 2.2lbs 1000grms!!!!! u cant beat that. That is lighter than the open faces, unbelievable!!!!

Seems like the next best thing is the OGFF-4 at 1409grams 3lbs 1/3 oz, at $302 for the solids and $423 for the replicas, What is the difference??? IT is actually a really cool helmet, the back is weird looking. But I might look into this helmet being the lighest out of the heaviest. The price isnt to bad either, beats the Suomis out by like $250 and is 160grams lighter.

Right now Im rocking the HJC Cl-14 @ 1704 grams!!!! holy crap no wonder why my neck feels like a fat kid's bicycle seat. Well also I have a bulging disk as well, cant forget bout that.

Switching to the OGFF-4 will save me 300 grams, is it really worth it, I dunno, Id really have to test it, i dont know what the difference in weight feels like.

THANX BIGRIG! good info!

 

BIGRIG are you trying to sell me your used helmet, cause you know I love greasy left over sweaty dandruff crust HOW many grams?

 

Ya, no prob bro. And yes, you will feel a big difference in just a little bit of weight. You'll be surprised.... no no, not selling my Vega. I can give a pic if you want it, for illustration puposes. It was like $110 brand spankin new. Half the price of my other ones. The vega weighs 3lbs 2oz. The only bad thing about the Vega, it has a high chin area, so at high speeds you have a buffering wind noise. The HJC is a lot quiter, but HEAVY. But it's a flip face too, tho' . I wear my cheapie 8x compared to 1x maybe on the HJ.. better vents on the vega too. the vega fits better so maybe there's a difference there???? A friend of mine has a Jafrum, www.jafrum.com It's about as light and as comfortable, but it fogs really bad. Ya the OGFF seems like a pretty good deal in comparable helmets...
