    Does anyone know who makes the lightest open face helmet. One that is intended to be used in a closed cockpit boat.

    Thanks in advance,
    Jim

    When I was looking, I felt that Pelter was pretty light.....I'm sure Ben H. would be able to give you some good info on that.....

    Take a look at the ARAI Classic. They make an incredible helmet and every one I've ever owned was exceptionally light. And I've crash-tested a few.

    They have a similar piece that's open-face with an integral visor.

    I think Tiger Performance has a new line of the Stilo Helmets.

    I have an older Simpson open face (Earnhadt style) that's a tank and just bought a couple of Peltors with the integrated radios and they're pretty light. Lighter than my composite Bell Dominator I'd guess...

    Those Stilo's are wicked!
