The Bern Brentwood is a lightweight, low-profile bike helmet designed for action sports”. This means that it isnt the best option for everyday urban riding, as it favors protection over ventilation, but it doesnt mean that the Brentwood lacks home comforts.
First is the removable peak (or visor) which, unlike the usual snap-on sunshades has a built-in sweatband. You can also opt for a plain, peak-free sweatband. There are channels in the sides for your specs or sunglasses, and in the winter the cold-weather kit incorporates headphones for iPod hookups.
Its also a lot cooler looking than many helmets, which is for many just as important as keeping you head from splitting open like a watermelon on impact.
The helmet comes in sizes from S to XXXL, and costs $70.
