My current helmet is an extra large xxx size,it’s a Bell Pit Boss half helmet and it weighs 2.2 lbs., it’s not as heavy as I thought.

 

Here is my take, and if you crash and helmet takes a hit, really need to replace the helmet.

So there are light weight Dot approve helmets on the market to begin with that are not much, and if your going for final lightest of dot.Snell approve helmets, then carbon fiber hand laid helmet may be the ticket, so long as you don't mind spending the $1K plus is going to cost.
Note if you find a hand laid carbon fiber helmet for less $1k, its a fake , with fake Dot or SNELL stickers on them to boot.
Hence a great deal of the time, not even real carbon fiber, but just hydro-dipped to look like carbon fiber, and not even tested to be able to get a legit dot or Snell rating on them as well.

 

FYI, helmets are not "approved", the manufacturer of a helmet claims compliance with published DOT standards, and there is very little compliance testing done.

 

Nah. Carbon fiber isn't magical or hideously expensive. The layup is the same as for fiberglass, just with carbon fibers instead of glass fibers.

Because people like it, plenty of manufacturers make it, for well under $1k. Simpson, Sedici, Bell, HJC, Arai, Klim, Scorpion, Schuberth, AGV, etc.

 

The Bell Scout Air helmet weighs less than 2lbs and gives good coverage and protection. I guess it’s considered a 3/4 helmet.
