## Description

Nothing says "I've totally abandoned lame helmets" like our classic Brentwood. About the smallest and thinnest profile of any certified helmet in the market - we consider owning this helmet much like having eggs, milk and butter in your fridge. Features a new flip visor to either run full peripheral vision when needed, or take it down to keep out the dangerous sun rays or gravel flying about.

Review: Good-looking, comfortable, and functional - what more can you ask for? - 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.
Review: It was the only one that didn't make me feel like I had a mushroom on my head - 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 looks, runs small, recommend another look at the size adjustment knob for user comfort
*by L***T on May 4, 2015*

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.
