I'm an old fart and have done several IBA certified rides, routinely do 600+ mile days during trips and never felt any helmet related fatigue.

So, I don't get the interest in who has the lightest helmet. Educate me.

PS--I wear 3/4 helmet, though I did buy a 1/2 helmet and did not like it.

I have zero disc cartilage in my neck. Wearing the lightest of helmets ( including my motocross bike ) is of utmost importance. Even my 3/4 was purchased because of lowest weight and lowest profile.

I have the Vega and pretty well pleased with it. If the link works there is a picture of part of the inside.

So you have no cartilage in your neck but you still ride dirt bikes?

I thought the same thing but kudos to him for still being able to enjoy the things he can. I'm a die hard offroad guy myself since the late 80's and would have a heck of a time giving it up. Just have to weight the risks.
