Lazer's Zl is the lightest helmet here. It's also, by a fair margin, the most expensive, at just a penny under 300$.
Aimed at focused racers, it includes a clear,
aerodynamic plastic cover for when every fraction of a second counts. The
seemingly complex cradle gives a good, wrap-around fit that changes size at the
sides as well as at the back of the head, and avoids uncomfortable pressure
points.
With such a minimalist design, the ventilation was
almost too effective for a chilly British February test period, but overall the
Zl had little to offer that the cheaper Giro and MET helmets couldn't match,
unless aerodynamics are a deal breaker.
Lightest and most
aerodynamic on test, but still pricey.
