That helmet looks like it weighs 3 pounds.
The old giro helmets were actually pretty lightweight.. The original Prolight or Beer cooler helmet was a revelation over the Bell V1 Pro which was one of the more popular models of that time.. I think the helmet he has on is the Ventoux model, probably somewhere around 9-10 ounces, lighter than most helmets made today but not as safe..
The older Giro's were one crash helmets, but they saved my head on more than a few occasions..
