Light weight helmets?

[wildcard]

I have been looking on line and have not been finding much. Whats out there for very light weight legal helmets? Any comments good or bad on what you have is also welcome.
I suffered a neck injury last year and am still down from it but am tired of not being able to use my toys.

I have had good luck w/ shoei and Thor. Good helmets, lightweight can be kind of expensive, but it is just your head. some companies seem to make a cheap and expensive grade, but the light helmets seem to cost big $
also i have seen some guys use the light snowboard helmets, but once they have tacken a hit you need to replace them, they are very light.

Fly Lite II carbon/kevlar for around $200 on sale. Light as a feather and looks sweet. Oh yeah, DOT and Snell too.

Old Forum

On the old forum there was thread about lightweight helmets and ones from Fox Racing that were kevlar and carbon fiber. There was a link posted to a website selling last years model for $140 or so. Does anyone remember that website or post?

here's the Do Rock. Race approved, very light, and keeps your money in the SLED industry.

FLY LITE under 3 pounds and under $100. There are different ones I II III and IV I think the older numbers are older models.

I was looking for the Do Rock helmet on the tobe website and I couldn't find it. Do you have more info on this helmet? I like the idea of built in speakers in the helmet.

Fly Lite is my choice, nice helmets, downside is the paint seems to not last, wants to flake and peel.

The web guys in sweden haven't put up any of the fall 08 stuff yet. Sorry about that. What else would you like to know about it? I am happy to help!
It is a carbon fiber shell BTW.

The do rock helmet is the lightest helmet I have ever seen. I'll bet it weighs half as much as my Fly Lite. I will have one of those this fall.

What's the price for the those? Do you have any other colors? I love the idea of the built in speakers!
