+1 on the Scorpion. All the other helmet mentioned are great helmets. The features of the Scorpion sold me. The drop down visor comes in very handy. The removable washable liner is is nice too.

A Shoei J-Wing which I wired for comm and sound. See if you can get to a shop to try some on as many of may have a preference understandably based on a particular helmet that fits our head. I've always liked the way the shields fit on a Shoei because the wind blows around the mechanism rather than into it like the Arai's. I've also seen some Scorpion helmets that seem well done, though I haven't had the opportunity to try one on 'cause I'm not in the market right now. They are one of the brands that are are putting flip-down shields inside the helmets. Some are cheesy, some are not, the Scorpion one I saw appeared it might prove simple and reliable.
With today's offering, you probably can't go wrong with any of them. Check the manufacturer's websites for weights, they're often listed.
Good luck.

I have a Bell R/T. It is the lightest helmet I could find. It fits good,and the Bell
quality to value seems good. cost= $59.95 oh, little over 2 lbs.
I also looked at the HJC AC-3, almost 3 lbs

Wife and I both wear NEXX X60's. After looking for weeks, we decided on them, and they are ultra light weight. They are both hanging on the bike in my sig pic, FYI.
