Looking for another helmet to use for the really warm days. The Sweet Trooper I have I like. It's great for mid-winter, but not what I want for when it gets hot. I am a sweat hog. Any recommendations?

MTB Helmet?
Randocommando helmet in red
Was looking at the Sweet Switcher... Replacing SMITH Vantage which is well vented with removable ears... I've used bike helmet before too. But some climbing helmet from Mammut, petzl, BD, or Camp will have headlamp clips though less protection from a ski crash, maybe better for rockfall?

K2 Route is a lightweight touring helmet with headlamp clips. If you have big googles you might need to Dremel under the brim, but otherwise it's pretty nice.
Smith Vantage with pads removed works for me
Pret Cynic is 14.5oz with the removeable pads/earmuffs which is lighter than any other helmet on the market IIRC. Remove those pads and it's probably around 12 oz.
It's also the helmet that Jonathan Ellsworth was wearing when he took a huge fall in the colorado backcountry in July 2017, breaking his neck. For sure saved his noggin though... and convinced me it was a good buy.

I’ve been using a Mammut El Cap and it’s better than expected on the up. Breathes well and handles goggles on the brim ok.

although not the most fashionable, I've been using the mammut alpine rider helmet. Certified for climbing and skiing and one of, if not the lightest with both those certs, @280grams with out the ear flaps. Has goggle and headlight clips. Not that venty but works for me. https://skimo.co/mammut-alpine-rider-helmet
