What is the lightest motocross style snowmobile helmet that is out there? Fly CarbonF2, Klim F4, etc.? I want to invest in a nice helmet this year. Thanks in advance for the help!

I have a KBC and a 509 and the 509 is lighter then the KBC. I have not weighted them, but you can tell when holding them.
I have the klim f4 and it feels lighter than the 509 carbon but have not weighted them. The 509 has alot looser fit I would try both on and see which one you like better I don't think you can go wrong with either
The Airoh Aviator is probably the lightest of all mentioned so far. Too bad there are no vendors that I've found in the US for them. Had to buy mine out of the UK.

I'm holding out for the Motorfist to replace my 12 year old HJC. Second choice is the Fly Carbon.
Exactly. My Fox V3 was ok but about 3.5 lbs. my TLD SE3 is the same even with Ti d- rings. And the Shoei VFX has a really awesome liner and weighs 3.5 lbs. (I think I see a pattern here) Beware of getting a large size helmet in a medium shell, your jawbone might get exposed. Of course, DOT and SNELL M2010 should be requisite in a brain bucket purchase.

Don't know if you can find one anymore but the TOBE helmet is super light.
Found one.

My Airoh is 1 kilo.
Or 2.2 lbs.
Or 2.2 lbs.
And my Airoh Stealth Senior is 950gram (0.95kg), hard to beat if weight is the main goal.
Klim F4 is a bit heavier, not much, maybe 0.4-0.5lbs (200g) but it seem to be more suited for snowmobile use then anything else i've seen, i will try one this seaaon, aswell as the new googles.

The Airoh Aviator is by far the best helmet made, I got one this winter and I can't say enough about just how good it is. Its light, really light, its comfortable, really comfortable, it seals really well with goggles around your face and prevents snow from entering you mouth, its very well ventilated and regulates temperature very well and looks super sick. The weight is un-noticeable, meaning you don't even feel like you are wearing a helmet.
I own 2 Fox V3's, a Troy Lee SE2, Thor and a Shoei VFWX and they are all garbage compared with the Airoh. Nothing even comes close, its the best money you will ever spend.
They are available in North America, you can get them here:

I would start with the Klim F4. If you're lucky enough to get this helmet to fit you hit the jackpot. The F4 ventilates so well compared to other helmets you'll think you died and went to heaven. It might be slightly heavier then some of the non Snell approved helmets, but you'll feel 20 pds lighter when your head is dry and you're not sweating your butt off.
lots of answers to a simple question
I believe the lightest if you can find it is the Marushin RS-MX Carbon at 850 grams
But as long as were pitching lids....of course www.ride509.com for the

It doesn't appear this Motorfist helmet is Snell certified. Is this new ECE22.05 rating comparible? Whose standard is the ECE22.05 anyway?
