Bern Baker EPS Original Helmet - REVIEW
Bern Unlimited is doing something that all other helmet manufactures should be emulating because, frankly, the six helmets in my gear closet are taking up too much room. The Massachusetts-based company has designed an all-season helmet line that allows you to use the same lid whether you’re skiing, biking, skateboarding or kayaking. Their EPS models meet the certifications put in place for snow, bike and skate sports, and more importantly, they look good for whatever head-banging hobby you’re into. OK, seriously, the best part is they’ll save your life when you bail hard on your noggin, but they do look good. Last summer I was given Bern’s original design to review, the Baker, which was serendipitous because I had met its namesake, Jonathan Baker, a few years ago on a ski tour. Considering he engineered and designed the helmet from scratch, I called him up to find out more about the technology.
