I've been using a Limar UL for a year now.
Simply the lightest helmet I have ever used. The Medium weights around 200 grams.
I havent had any issues with the tension adjustment wheel. The helmets runs small. I wear a small in almost all helmet brands and went up to a Medium in the Limar and it just barely fits.
I have an Oval/Oblong head and the Limar is a good shape for that. I find Giro to be more round and mushroomy.

Update, FWIW.
I did order a Kask from Amazon. A medium, which was just too small (my head size is smack-dab in between a medium and a large). I returned it and ordered the large and it "fit" but wasn't a good shape for my head. My head is more oblong, longer front to back, and the Kask was more round. I returned that one too.
I'm thinking of ordering a Limar. I tried on a 635 from my LBS; it fit great but the wheel to adjust the tightness was broken. Thinking of ordering a Limar Ultralight, but I've read a few accounts of people also experiencing trouble with the wheel breaking.
Anyone have any input on that?
Would I be as happy with something like a Giro? Any thoughts on how a giro would compare?
