Anyone have experience with these?

Saw this very nice looking helmet local today. I don't know the actual weight, but it felt on the light side. Internal sun visor, ratchet closure, pin lock included. Sub $200 here and there.

I tried on an XL and it fit like XL's normally fit me. The neck opening was pretty difficult to get through, like I didn't think it was going to be possible at first, but it felt ok once it was on. Might be a good indicator that it'll actually be quiet?

Only bad thing I noticed was an overwhelming chemical smell that made my eyes burn and I couldn't keep it on my head very long.
 
I was able to find the weight on one of their helmets...3.1 pounds. Not too shabby. Difficult finding the specs on any of their helmets.

Did some more searching. Shoei Neotec II = 4.12 pounds; HJC RPHA 1N = 3.5 pounds; SMK Gullwing = 3.9 pounds. I will be seriously looking at the SMK, considering it is only a fraction of the price of the Shoei and HJC.
