    I have owned TONS of helmets and bike products. I read lots of online reviews prior to purchasing, and then purchase 2 or 3 close items to compare. Unfortunately, I often forget to return the others, but I digress... :) Anyways,after buying hundreds of items this way none of them have prompted me to post a review - until now. This product is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I currently own and rotate through three or four dorky looking but high-end road and mtn bike helmets from Giro, Bell, and a full-face V1 from Fox Racing. The Bern Brentwood is by far the lightest, most comfortable, and not unimportantly *decent looking* helmet you can get for even twice the money, let alone at this price ($59.99 and free shipping). I'd say it fits true to size to a *tad* small, so if you are on the edge like I was go with the bigger one and you'll be set. The snap in liners are cool as hell and offer options. I have yet to be able to find an online retailer to buy the winter Hunter fleece... Read more

    i love my bern brentwood helmet. it's totally functional and lightweight and durable and fits on your head in a way that doesn't look stupid. i get a lot of compliments on the way it looks.

    the visor thing is cool too. you can either have a detachable mini-visor to help shield sun and rain or take it off.

    it's not super cheap but it's well worth the value. and if you're able to find it used or discounted, there's really no excuse not to get it.

    easily the least stupid-looking bike helmet on the market.

    I live in Hawaii, where there are no helmet laws (as it should be). I ride my 50cc moped everywhere. After witnessing a couple of nasty spills, I started researching helmets. My initial thought, naturally, was a motorcycle helmet. However, having ridden motorcycles for many years and suffering through the discomfort of wearing a full brain bucket, I started looking at "skid lids". This led me to research helmet safety and testing standards.

    Guess what?

    The difference between a bike and motorcycle helmet, testing-wise, is ONE METER -- that is, the height from which a motorcycle helmet is drop-tested is 3 meters, while a bike helmet is dropped from 2 meters. This is the equivalent of a 4 MPH difference! It should also be noted that most well-made (like Bern) bicycle helmets could easily pass the 3-meter drop test.

    Further, motorcycle DOT helmets are so-designated by the manufacturers themselves -- there is no independent certification done... Read more
