Not to be confused but that is the Skid Lid brand of helmets, we use to call the old leather ones skid lids before that brand came out, the brand stole the street nickname of the leather helmets and applied the name to their line of helmets.

Reason why the helmet was heavy was due to the tough outer plastic covering, similar to toughness as the Bell Tourlite which also made the Bell heavy back then.
