The helmet's hybrid fiberglass and Aramid shell is manufactured using pre-impregnated resin to be more compact and 17 percent lighter than traditional fiberglass designs. Total weight is just 1 lb. 6 oz. A soft, anti-microbial comfort liner wicks away sweat and is removable for washing. Dual front air vents and a removable shortie visor complete the package. Available in XS - XXL sizes. Meets DOT requirements and is manufactured by KBC®.  Part number is: 97296-09VM, $200.
