A slightly heavier helmet would provide better protection tho. Back in the 80s Bell produce a helmet call the Tourlite. It had a lexan shell that would provide excellent protection, and was hard enough not to cause stiction that some worry about. BTW it was not that heavy anyway, and now that I sit full upright on my bents it would be even less noticeable.

I would love to have a brand new Tourlite like I had back then.
