Sports reviews of Bern Brentwood Summer Multi-Sport Helmet
Customer Review: Hip and comfy cranial protection
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
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.
Google up this article from Motorcyclist magazine:
Motorcycle Helmet Performance: Blowing the Lid Off
It is quite exhaustive and within it one learns that when motorcycle accidents were actually studied, 90 percent or more of actual accidents are moderate-energy impacts. Ninety-plus percent of the head impacts surveyed, in fact, were equal to or less than the force involved in a 7-foot drop. And 99 percent of the impacts were at or below the energy of a 10-foot drop.
With all of this in mind, I started thinking, "So why wear some heavy, uncomfortable DOT helmet that will afford me no better protection (and possibly less) than a well-designed bike helmet?"
Enter Bern and their Brentwood model.
All I can say is pretty much summed up in the title to this review. It is supremely comfortable, with their large-size fitting my 23" cranium nice and snugly (but not overly snug). It looks so hip (especially with the snap-in visor) that my son will actually wear it. And it is more aerodynamic than my naked head! The ventilation is excellent, keeping my head cool in the hot Hawaiian sun.
Bottom line: If you're thinking of wearing a helmet, buy this. You can't go wrong.
Description of Bern Brentwood Summer Multi-Sport Helmet
Quit swapping helmets every time the seasons change and slide on the low-profile Bern Brentwood Helmet; ample venting keeps this lid cool in the summer, and a snap-in liner readies it for winter slashing. The tough, seamless hard shell design wraps around your skull to protect you from racking your brain on the snow or concrete. Mom can rest easy. Bern invested serious time into dialing in the Sink Fit shape so the Brentwood easily accommodates sunglasses or goggles and it wont leave you feeling like a top-heavy dashboard wobble-head.Product Features
