I bought the Euro/Aus version in S/M - actual measured weight on my head was "yikes, thats _scary_ light". ;)

Unfortunately it was also a tad small for me so I sold it on to a friend.

FWIW, even when they fit properly these superlight helmets don't have much coverage, so standards compliance notwithstanding you have to wonder about their relative safety in real-world crashes.

I would have to agree, the helmet feels great on my head but does not make me feel protected. I am sure it's good against impact because it's going to crush but it does not feel secure on my head. In a real crash I feel it might move away and leave my head exposed.

I have the AUS version and it is super light. I literally forget i'm wearing it until it's time to take it off.

The ventilation works great too on really hot days (40C +) but on cool mornings I need a bandanna to keep me warm.

I'm happy with mine, especially coz I got it super cheap!
