I was just going to go Petzl Meteor, but these are so cheap, and not a lot heavier....

No, but looks like a good product. Have you tired them for fit though?

yeah, RnR are about as good as they get with returns.

With my watermelon on a toothpick I always try before buying.

Been pretty impressed with these new petzl helmets:

They aren't being marketed as climbing helmets, but are rated as such. Comfiest and lightest helmet I've used so far - 340gr for a hard shell is really good. Probably going to ditch the faithful old Ecrin roc for this winter season and take one of these instead.
