How much does your helmet weigh?

I was out this weekend doing some "research" for longer trip planned for later this month and I got the stiff neck/upper back muscle spasms I was plagued with on other long rides. (Also the itchy nose!) After doing some checking online, although I was not able to find any definitive cause for this, I have come to suspect the weight of my helmet. I wear a fill face HJC touring and I did a non scientific check against my 3/4 and it seemed a lot heavier. My wife weighed them on a postal scale anf Full Face = 3 lbs, 14 ounces and 3/4 = 3lbs, 5 ounces. I'm gonna look into a lighter helmet, but I was curious...
