IVE GOT A HALF HELMET FROM SEER FOR TOO MANY YEARS.. GREAT HAT,,, SO GOOD I BOUGHT A 2ND ONE 2 YRS AGO.. BEST HELMET IVE FOUND .. VERY COMFORTIBLE.. COPS WEAR EM ALL THE TIME
But is it heavier then most other helmet brands of like style? No helmet company seems to list the weight of their helmets.
I just purchased a Nolan Cruise half helmet primarily because of its light weight. I've heard that while states with mandatory helmet laws show a decrease in head trauma deaths, there is a slight increase in spinal cord injuries due to the extra weight resting on the top of the cervical column.In my opinion, wearing ahelmet is still a good trade off when things go badly, but if all other things are equal, a lighter helmet should be easier on your neck.

I figure the increase in spinal cord injuries is because the rider with a helmet survived the head trauma. When not wearing a helmet, the crushing of your skull cushions the blow to your spine. Also, when someone dies from a head injury, they don't bother to report whether they had a spine injury.
