I ordered the Akuma Phantom 2 Carbin Fiber Helmet Friday. I couldn't find a store that had them in stock in the area so I ordered online.
It was suppose to be here today, but due to all the snow we got this weekend it says it will be delivered tomorrow now.

Very nice!
If "Akuma" is meant to be Japanese, then it could be this 悪魔 (/'aku-ma/), which means "devil".

I prefer the Stealth, but I've just bought a new lid, so I guess I'll have to wait til next time .

I wanted something really light and the Phantom 2 only weights 3 lbs.

I was just going to ask that! Mine seems fairly heavy. I will check out the weight on mine. Curious to see what the others weigh from Wayne's answer/comments. Facts always win.

This was an extremely well-made helmet that I really wanted to like; but it is designed for people with oval heads. Round-oval, or round head like mine is just asking for unbearable initial pain and possible loss of blood flow to the brain by trying to fit into this helmet. Sent it back and got an Arai Quantum II, still loving it.

The Akuma Phantom 2 is a nice lid . It was a tossup between the Phantom 2 and Nexx XR1R when I was looking. I bought the Nexx because I wanted the Pearl Orange color. The compared weight difference is 15 grams (.52oz).
