Seems everyone that wears an Airoh loves them. However they will have to remove there claim to having the lightest dirt bike helmet very soon.I got called into a preview at Blackfoot for my thoughts on a new Suomy helmet that will be at Blackfoot and other stores soon. It had a nice looking paint job, very comfy and removable liner, decent venting, it had a lip on the bottom edge of the helmet in the back to work with a neck brace, retail price of $459.00, but the weight was 900 grams!!!!!!. This helmet felt so light it was unreal.
Seemed about the same or lighter than my full carbon fiber downhill mountain bike helmet.Like the Airoh it is not Snell approved at this time, same Euro cert. standard though, which some say is better than Snell cert.At this time this was the only helmet of its kind in North America.

I think the new Aviator weighs in at 950gms and the Stelt weighs in around 1050. Think you can still find a pretty good deal on the Stelts if you are not picky on the colours. When my Stelt showed up I thought they forgot to put the helmet in the box! :smirk:

It looks like the Arai VX pro 3 is just about 1500 grams for compairason. That is quite a bit lighter.
