Customer Rating: 4 Star
Summary: Nice cold weather alternative to the standard bike helmet.... 2009-10-26
Comment: I hate bike helmets! Most look like something out of a bad Sci-Fi flick.... What the heck, it can't be that hard to make something that works and looks decent.

Bern makes something a little different; better IMHO. I needed a MTB helmet and picked up this Baker very inexpensively on an Amazon clearance. I couldn't pass it up and I'm happy I bought it. The fit is excellent but runs slightly small. I had to exchange a L for an XL. Do yourself a favor and order up a size, or measure your head and follow the sizing chart on Bern's web site. There is a strap in the back of the helmet which allows you to tighten the fit as needed.

The short integrated ball cap style bill works quite well in conjunction with sunglasses/goggles to keep your eyes protected.

Is it perfect? No. The "Summer" designation doesn't mean its cool. It refers to the type of liner in the helmet, summer vs. winter. Ventilation is poor.... My head is soaked after every ride. It is well suited to cold weather riding and less cardio intense activities. Ventilation can be improved by cutting some channels in the foam lining and/or vents in the shell but this could reduce its protective capability if you were ever in a really bad crash. Speaking of that, the shape of these Bern helmets is more protective of the back of the head than traditional bike helmets.

Bern does make other models (Brentwood) with vents in the shell which would be better suited to cycling. This fall they are introducing the G2 which is much better ventilated. I'll probably ride this one through the cool weather and then buy a G2 when the weather warms up..... Happy cycling.
