Hey yea,what the fuck? Hmmmm who's bullshitting us? Although,that light of a helmet sounds a little far fetched.... I wonder if they're weighing the the extra smalls. Remember the weights on HH are for MEDIUMS!

I'm sure every manufacturer fudges on weight a little just like the bike manufacturers do. HH is independent so I have to assume those weights are correct. However I picked one up and it felt quite a bit lighter than my Shoei TZ-R

One thing I've noticed is I think it has something to do with the center of gravity or how the helmet "carries" the weight. I agree that I can't see any reason for HH to lie about the figures considering they carry all of the different helmets for sale except Shark which is on closeout with them I think.
