Bern Unlimited Brentwood Summer Helmet with Flip Visor

Easily the best bicycle helmet I've ever owned. I absolutely love the blue / red combination, and between the visor and the thickness of the helmet (thinner than usual because of Bern's unique injection molding process), you won't look like some BMX-riding teen. You also won't look like you belong in full Lycra, if that's a concern. This is, as bicycle helmets go, pretty stylish. As far the fit, it's very comfortable. I'm on the upper end of the "large" head size by Bern's measurements, so the rear head tension adjuster is maxed out on mine, but the result is a snug, stable helmet - exactly what you want in a bike helmet. The strap is high quality and doesn't rub or aggravate my skin (an issue with cheapies), and the flip visor really is a pretty great extra if you ride in a lot of sunny weather. It breathes well, though obviously you're getting less airflow than many of the racing and touring bike helmets out there. The tradeoff, I'd argue, is your head won't get sunburned in the summer, and in the rain your hair won't get soaked. As far as impact resistance, I hope never to have to test it, but the Brentwood seems extremely solid and Bern has a pretty good reputation for building quality helmets. You're paying a premium here for what is a fairly casual helmet, and I'd say it's worth it.

I shopped for 3 weeks locally and online for a low profile thin stylish helmet that I, the guy who refuses to wear a helmet, would actually use when riding on dangerous roads. I purchased and tried three similar products with this 'urban commuter' style. The Bern was by far the thinnest and lowest profile of the bunch. It was the only one that didn't make me feel like I had a mushroom on my head. The helmet, in my opinion, is the best in class for small size and style with a certification. The only issue I have to mention is the sizes. Pre 2014 Bern used a Velcro closure adjustment on the liner to fine tune the size. Post 2013 they switched to a dial system. The two liners fit differently, the Velcro one running tighter and the dial looser. Bern uses a S/M L/XL XXL/XXXL size system. I take a Med in all my clothing and accessories and found myself right between the S/M and L/XL sizes. The helmet mold for the S/M was the correct size, but the S/M liner was too small. I ended up buying a L/XL liner and installing it in the S/M helmet. It fits like a glove and I am fully satisfied with my purchase.

Great helmet. I have no qualms with the look or styling. The flip visor is a great design for use when the sun is out. The fit runs a little small. I ordered a L/XL helmet and I have a 59.5 cm circumference head. According to the size chart, this is within 1 cm of the max circumference for this particular size. However, I couldn't wear the helmet for more than 10 min without getting a headache (this is of course with the size adjustment knob opened to its widest extent). Also, the size adjustment knob on the back was both uncomfortable and restrictive. As one other reviewer noted, it rests firmly on the top of the neck where it meets the base of the skull. When located here it prevents the wearer from looking up to any great degree. Because of the tight fit and the restricted range of motion I went ahead and cut the adjustment knob mechanism out from the summer liner. With this modification I have increased range of visibility and greater comfort. The helmet still fits snuggly, but without the uncomfortable pressure and related headaches. Thankfully, the liners are relatively inexpensive, so this is a low-risk modification to the helmet without compromising its safety performance. Users with smaller heads may not benefit with such changes. If your head is larger, I definitely recommend sizing up the largest size.

i just got my new helmet and it fits just right!! Yeah!! I had one of the regular kind that I had bought at the big box store and had to try on so many to find one that fit, ended up buying a girl size one and it never fit right anyhow. You really have to measure your head and buy the exact size, the button at the back of the helmet gives a tiny bit of adjustment but not much. I bought the small/med. and it fits just right, feels perfect, snug and secure. Very nice looking, I did have to shorten the strap a whole lot and not sure about the visor down, might want to keep it up for better vision but I may change my mind in summer when the sun if very bright. I have a navy blue Schynn and just bought a new red Sole bike so the navy and red helmet looks totally stylish with both!! I would definitely recommend this helmet for comfort, safety and style.

So i ordered a large/XL and an XXL/XXXL version of these helmets. The large/XL was too small and I could not fit my head inside of it without tremendous force. The XXL/XXXL is torqued down to the smallest possible size to fit onto my head and not move around. In order to get a proper fit, I had to adjust my rear dial to the tightest setting which really crushes the occipital area of my skull when looking up. I have a 23 3/4-24 inch circumference head. This helmet does not look "cool" in the XXL/XXXL size, more like a giant mushroom, or Toad's head in Mario Kart. The Large/XL did not fit but looked good. It is perplexing that this company does not manufacture a size in between L/XL and XXL/XXXL. What about XL/XXL?

For as much time as I spend on my bike, I really should have purchased a helmet sooner but this was the first one I saw that matched my style. I have a big head and the 3XL fits me perfect. I still look like I have a mushroom on my head but it is the best it is going to get. It doesn't seem to breath like some other helmets but it looks like it protects from sun burn on my bald head and the visor works descent on very sunny days. It is very lightweight and I thought the price was reasonable. The matte black is a nice finish. Haven't crashed yet so can't vouch for protection but I like this helmet which is huge because I'll probably actually wear it regularly.

I'm a 5' tall female and this fits perfectly. It can be adjusted to fit a slightly larger head (for me this helps in order to wear a knit cap underneath in cold weather), but it's pretty tiny! I like the finish on this model (very matte) better than the black women's model (slightly shinier). Also I like how it's monochrome and a little more angular than the women's model. Very well made and definitely the cutest helmet I've found. Most of these all-sport models look like a mushroom cap on my head, but this one looks stylish and badass. Also the visor is really helpful for blocking that low morning sun on my commute!

Its nice but when i tried to remove the lining, the buttons came off. 3 out of 4. It was easy to snap back on. Looks great if you ride a beach cruiser or a city bike. It has a hipster style. You can remove the visor and it looks like a Bell Faction skate helmet. Its not just plain round like a cereal bowl. There's some shape to it. Its a bit snug. I bought the S/M. My wife has a M Bell helmet and its a bit looser. The next size is L/XL which would have been too loose.

Der Brentwood gibt ein angenehmes und sicheres Gefühl, da er den Kopf wirklich umschließt und toll sitzt. Die eigenwillige Form finde ich einfach spektakulär. Die Belüftung ist gut, wenn auch nicht so kühlend wie zum Beispiel die eines Catlike oder dergleichen. Das liegt aber in der Natur der Messenger/Skater-Helme. Für mich der Ideale Urban-Helm, auch durch sein sehr geringes Gewicht. Einziges kleines Manko ist, dass der Lack, zumindest in matt-schwarz, recht empfindlich ist bei Stößen. So stellt sich schnell eine Used-Optik ein. Passt aber irgendwie auch wieder zum urbanen Einsatzgebiet.

Soy el más chulo del barrio con el casco

J'ai un casque de vélo norme ... mais il se trouve sur le dessus de ma tête et je toujours peur que dans le cas d'accident, il serait déplacé: alors je acheté cette Bern Brentwood. ce se trouve serré autour de la partie supérieure de votre tête et donne l'impression de rester en place .. donc je suis satisfait. Puis je eu un accident .. aller un peu trop vite et a frappé un patch de gravier .. mauvais mauvais.. Je ai été envoyé pour une xray de tête etc. Cependant, je suis heureux d'annoncer le casque a parfaitement fonctionné. Ainsi resté sur ma tête ... et maintenant je regarde les rainures sur le casque ... et je suis très heureux que ce casque était là pour me protéger Merci Bern

J'ai reçu mon colis très rapidement dans son carton d'origine. Le produit correspond exactement a la photo. On y trouve egalement un autocollant BERN blanc en plus. Ce casque en effet taille petit (merci aux précédents commentaires), j'ai pris une taille au dessus. La taille en cm correspond bien par rapport a l'indication sur la photo.

Il casco è leggerissimo, ben areato, con regolazioni semplici e efficaci: vale il prezzo. Ottime, come sempre, la confezione e la spedizione.
