The CCT (British organisation for running hill climbs and TTS) in their infinite wisdom have introduced a new rule that helmets have to be worn!
Sensible in TT especially as you are faster with an aero lid, but very annoying in a hill climb... so what is the lightest helmet option?

The Limar Ultralight Evo is pretty light, but I would guess an aero road helmet would actually be faster for most hill climb courses.

I believe aero helmet might be faster despite its weight.
I bought a Salice lid in the summer - can't remember the exact model - but it is very light indeed.

See if you can find a Specialized Sub 6 from the early 1990's. Just plain, simple styrofoam.
The HJC Furion is interesting it claims to be aero and is reportedly light - I've never heard of the brand before, I don't think they sell them in the US.
