Need a Brain Bucket

I really like this helmet. I've been looking for something that is really lightweight since a heavy helmet can cause rider fatigue. I also want something that has good venting since the majority of riding I will be doing will be during the warmer months.

Cool looking, eh?

I like both the pure carbon fiber weave (above) and the "vader" model (below).
