How is that for a light helmet?
unfurtonatly, they are a bit hard to find- but this season they are sponsering our team, and i like them alot. fits well on my head, ventilation is fair, and i've never had an helmet as light as this one before...

I noticed one of the online retailers her in Australia has started selling Ranking helmets and I was curious about them as I hadn't really seen or heard much about them.
I currently have two Limar Pro 104 helmets which have come in pretty much on the stated weight.

The Limar 777 looks very nice, both weight and price-wise but I haven't found a verified weight. Any others?
Did you try searching for "Helmet Weight" (???)
Because there's a pretty damn amazing thread over here.

No need to make a new one, no?

Bumping the existing thread and in the process asking for new contributions would have been a good move too

My Limar ultralight in S/M comes in at 204grams. As it has been said you can barely feel it on your head. It does have the netting in the front vents to prevent bugs, but also prevents you from putting your sunglasses there (in case that matters to you). Plus if you shop around they can be found cheap, the looks are however subjective.
This is my no name bike

I heartily second the Limar suggestion. Plus you can scratch off the "Worlds Lightest Helmet" logo on the side with a fingernail.
One word of caution: Limar recently redesigned its top-end helmet. I've heard that the new version, instead of fitting closely, looks like a typical mushroom helmet.
I got a Giro Aeon in size Medium (EU version) at 194 gramms.
My friend recently got one of those Ranking helmets, rebranded by french Ekoi in size Small at 177 gramms.
