As my new employer requires coaches to wear helmets all the time, I'm looking into a skimo/climbing-style helmet, particularly for days when I'm working on the hill but not really skiing. My last employer had a less-formal policy and was fully onboard with my personal "if I'm carrying poles, I'll wear a helmet" policy, so while I have no problem wearing a helmet while actually skiing, I'm not psyched to have to wear one while setting and such.
I need the helmet to meet ASTM F204 or CE/EN-1077, particularly as I expect that a funny-looking one might actually get questioned.
Is there anything in the highly ventilated, sub-300-gram range that meets those criteria? The Googling I've done suggests that the popular ultralight helmets in skimo/winter mountaineering circles aren't actually certified for skiing, but a lot of the results I'm picking up are from a few years ago (apparently when the ISMF rules changed to require skiing-certified helmets).
Oh, and bonus points if it doesn't look too dorky. I don't need any help there.
