Petzl Sirocco 2
The Petzl Sirocco is the lightest helmet on the market, now with even better protection than before. The new Petzl Sirocco has the addition of a polycarbonate shell on the top of the helmet, and its back cover has been extended to provide more complete coverage and protection against rear impacts. This shell has been included to provide better, more durable protection against low impacts, like from falling rocks and debris, but Petzl have designed it so that the Sirocco's ultralight reputation isn't compromised. With large ventilation holes, headlamp clips, and a magnetic loop that makes clipping the chinstrap faster and easier, the new Petzl Sirocco is as still designed to be as light and comfortable as possible but now with enhanced protection.

If you need a helm that you will not change for years this is the one to go for. Excellent for multi pitch routes, very comfortable, it will never feel a burden. I even use it for biking, you don’t need more than this. It you adjust it just right to your size it is so easy you forget that is on. Only place where I would not recommend this helm is speleology, maybe for something light but nothing serious.
