what weight is heavy for a full face mountain bike/downhill helmet?

needing a full face helmet for riding downhill this summer and seen a few for sale online but dont know what weight is "light" i dont want a heavy one for obvious reasons. i seen a motocross one for sale for £15 and the guy said it would be ok for downhill mtb. but being motocross its designed for motocross bikes so would no doubt be heavier.

then again he might just be saying motocross helmet so ive asked him what weight it is and waiting for him to reply so needing to know what is classed as a lightweight helmet.

thanks

giro remedy's are light, and so are fox rampage. if your looking for light helmets and not DOT helmets. I have both those and there nice and light, a lot of vents too.

What kind of helmet do I need for mountain biking?

A standard bike helmet will work for you. But, be sure to try various brands. Each company seems to make helmets that fir one shape of a head. There are some companies, whose helmets I cannot wear. They hurt just to put on. You do not have to get the top of the line. All helmets pass the same tests. What you get for more money is lighter, more air vents / cooler. more exotic materials, and better suspension systems. The moderate priced helmets will have parts of all of these.
