I wanted to drop you a note expressing how happy my daughter and I are that my wife wears her Bern helmet skiing. As you can see in the attached pictures she took a nasty fall right on her head and the helmet did its job. She walked away with a slight concussion, if not for the great fitting helmet she would probably still be in the hospital. Thanks.

Hey bern crew, good stuff! I've been running a brentwood for street cycling for about 6 months, it's a great lid, light and fitting, I often forget I'm wearing it. Feels way better than the Giro Flak I'd broken, and the foam design is clean and lasts well. My one niggle is that with all the perspiration going on under the lid, the hardware (rivets?) has begun to oxidize? no biggie, as it hasn't (and i figure won't) affect the structural integrity or exterior look of the helmet, i just figured i'd let you know in case it was something you were to change when you update for the next year, unless I'm the only one that has had this happen. haha.

Wherever I go I get compliments on the helmet, so you're definitely bringing something good to the market.

thanks.

...everywhere we skate, he's the only one wearing a Baker Hard Hat and kids, teens and adults say it adds to his "cool factor" and ask us- "WHERE CAN I GET ONE?"

"I just want to thank you for working with me on all this. This is my first bern product and I took a lot of time considering on it and I'm really happy I did. With a lot of companies these days you have little to zero customer-company contact, so if you have a problem or concern you usually get a broad, general answer that seems devoid of any real relation, or sometimes no answer at all.
I just want you to know I'm behind you guys all the way!"

Andrew - 686
"I just wanted to send you an email from Whistler to let you know the helmets are AMAZING.... I can't even tell you how satisfied I am with my helmet, not only is it super warm but the look and the earphones are great. I have gotten several complements and questions about where I bought it, I have been giving everyone the company website to check out all the products and to find out the nearest dealers. Everyone else I brought the helmets for are super stoked as well, we all look like we are sponsored with our helmets and die-cuts on our boards. Not to mention the sick hats and sweatshirts we are wearing as well. Thank you for everything, Andrew"

Jimbo Morgan - Ski Industry Icon
"Great too see you at the Bern booth. Stoked on the look of the helmets. I think this time around you guy's bring the right product and attitude to the table."

Jon - Head North
"Whats up, my name is Jon, I own Head North; a ski shop; in Truckee CA, we carry your line of helmets which I must say is our number one selling helmet. Good Stuff..."

Jeremy - Florida
"The Bern Macon is the best helmet I have owned. It is light and stays cool and dry in the Florida heat.
Atlantic Bicycle and Mr. Santiago Garcia turned everyone on to them. I would even say I can't think of a single one of my riding buddies (guys and girls alike) that does not wear a Bern. I am not sure... but you may have even had something to do with getting us those helmets for the Demo (Museum of Discovery and Science picture gapping the triangles). We gave Bern shouts throughout both days, encouraged kids to wear helmets and preached basic bike advocacy.
Thanks for a great product."

Seth Wescott - Olympic Gold Medalist, Alaskan First descenter, a bad ass from Maine
"I am really excited to see where Bern is going and I am glad to be a part in helping to develop the brand and product, it is some rad stuff in the realm of head protection."

Steve - Canada (Snowboarder-Baker)
"You guys rock. Hey, I just wanted to let you know that i've recently bought some of your stuff and its totally awesome, you guys kick ass!"

Greg - Ottawa Ontario (Skateboarding-Macon)
"Dear Skull Savers AKA BERN, I would like to first of all thank you for reading this and thank you for making such a durable and amazing product. It wasn't long ago that I purchased a Bern helmet at my local skate shop. So far I haveonly used it for skateboarding, but I also snowboard and I plan on using Bern as my helmet of choice.
My story starts one day when I was skating at one of our local concrete skateparks and disaster struck me in the head. I went for a boardslide across and down one of the rails and I fell forward over the flat, hit my chest on the down rail and flipped onto my head. The helmet hit the ground so hard my friends swore they felt the vibrations. I layed there in pain realizing that the only thing hurting was mychest! I stood up, took off my helmet and my head was MINT! I had no headache and no nasty lump! If I wasn't wearing my helmet, I probably wouldn't be skating much today. You guys saved me alot of pain by manufacturing a solid, comfortable helmet that could take the beating of my body landing on it. I know that from now on I will rely on Bern to protect my skull and theres no two questions about that."

"It's all about Bern baby. The kids are all over it."

Robbie Nelson - California (Surfing-Baker)
"When I first put it on I thought the chin strap would bind or choke me but surprisingly, it didn't. Because I was surfing a beachbreak, I immediately had to duckdive through several waves and the helmet straps didn't bind or slip and the helmet shell drained immediately after surfacing.
The most interesting feature is the shape of the shell, it looks like a baseball helmet and it shaded my eyes from the morning glare. Also (this is so cool), when I pulled into the barrel and the lip of the wave hit me in the head, the visor allowed the water to flow over the helmet and NOT IN MY EYES. Bonus."

Justin Lamoureux - Pro snowboarder, Canada
"After seeing seth's lid (and Lago's), I checked out your site and had to get your info, cause the lids look amazing all around. I especially like the fact that they don't seem super rigid like the bike foam style helmets that don't conform in the slightest to your head."

Eric - New Holland, PA (Free Ride MTB-Brentwood)
"I'll try to be quick and to the point. I have a Large head. My fitted baseball hat size is 7&3/4 to 7 & 7/8. I ride mountain bikes...a lot. I have searched everywhere for helmets that fit. Bell, Giro, Specialized, European helmet mfr. models...nothing that was comfortable. The boom, Bern-the Zip and the Brock Hard Hat, fit amazing. (God, you guys have it all over the other mfr's offerings out there! They don't even compare! Style and construction.) Well, enough long winded type from me! Just a guy, with a large noggin', looking for a helmet for aggressive mountain bike trail riding, who lovesthe stuff that you're doing, who is pumped that you guys make helmets that fit him!"

Jordan Spohr - Pro skier, Tahoe
"I'm stoked on the lid - it has saved me from a lot of head trauma. It kills it. I forget I have it on most of the time. So cool, so many kids are pumped on it!"

Dogfunk.com: Product review - 1st place - G Helmet
"Bern G Helmet, 4 Goats-DOGFUNK helmet test
Melon drop: 4, the helmet jumped and the melon made it through with almost no damage; the helmet looks brand new.
Trunk slam: 5, the Bern stood strong and didn't even make any ominous cracking noises under the pressure. Imagine slamming down the trunk, hitting the helmet, and having the trunk shoot back up and crack you in the face.
Hammer: 5, the compressed foam on the outside of the G Helmet took the hit and showed little damage. The inside of the helmet looked like new."

Jamie Burge - Pro skier
"Hey Joshua, I just wanted to drop you a line letting you know that I received and love the helmet that you sent me. I filmed with the Rage boys for a few days and was rocking the helmet. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks again! I'm happy to be working with such a cool new company. It's very refreshing!"

Jay - (Free Ride MTB-Brentwood)
"Hey i got the helmet yesterday and took it out for a ride this am. I love it, it is so comfortable and allows a lot more air flow than I expected. Thanks for everything you did. I will spread the word of Bern."

Roz - (Skiing-Muse)
"I am a female freeskier who is competing and training throughout Canada, the US and Europe, possibly New Zealand this summer. I have been looking for the perfect helmet for the last two years. I think I've found it. It is the Muse by Bern Helmets. I love the fact that Bern is producing high-quality helmets specifically for females. In a sport where "female equipment" is sometimes synonymous with flimsier, poorer quality products, it is great to see a company that is designing female specific equipment that are the same caliber but better fitted to the female body size. This helmet and all its design elements appeals to my personal sense of style. I even love the name of it!"

Peter - (Snowboarding-Baker)
"Do you sell these in Canada? I saw a guy with the Baker model here in Whistler and for the first time in my life thought "that's a helmet I would wear."

Jim - (Snowboarding/Biking-Baker)
"I thought pro-tec made the most stylish helmets until i saw the baker this morning.... i had never heard about bern before, is it a "new" brand? Could you send me stickers with the helmet, i'd be proud toplace them on my snowboard and bike!)"

Dave - (Skateboarding-Macon)
"You guys knocked it out of the park with this thing. The UPS box just got here and we're all so stoked to see the helmet."

Bob - Retailer (skiing/snowboarding-Brentwood)
"Here is what we need today...can barely keep up!"

Cody Smith - Professional telemark Skier
"I got that helmet you sent, and wanted to say that it rocks my world. I'm so stoked on those things, so it bums me 100% to tell that my season is over. I exploded my knee a couple of days ago, and will be heading home soon to mend for the next half year. I did get to ski that thing for a couple of days though, and was thoroughly impressed. It was the most comfortable helmet I've ever worn, and I felt totally badass on top of that. I got all kinds of compliments and inquiries, so people are super excited!"

Cris Williams - Marketing Manager Skull Candy
"Dude I can get you the goods. We saw your stuff at SIA and it was tight! Then we all saw Seth win the gold with the best logo placement of the whole Olympics! Not to mention the coolest helmet!"

Gabe Anderson - Skier/ Businessman
"Bern Folks - hello, just wanted to touch base quickly and let you guys know I am very stoked on your guy's stuff. I have the Baker, which was showcased from a rail jam I placed 3rd in this weekend and featured in somenews on Newschoolers.com. Just thought I would give you guys a shout out and let you know that I dig what you are doing. I am looking forward to having the liners available in more shopstoo. Also yourbooth at SIA was one of the best set ups of the whole show, very artistic and clean.
Anyway, just wanted to send along some news I was stoked on, let you know that Jiberish is supporting you, and just pass along some thoughts for you to enjoy in general!
Take care, Gabe Anderson, Jiberish Clothing"

These lids rock mate.  Bern Helmets are the first helmets I have ever chosen to ride in, when I was competing they were mandatory for racing, but I only made the jump to free-riding in a lid when I moved to Whistler, and Bern released the Baker in their first season.  Since then I have really liked the accessories which are available, with the weather changing as much as it does here in Whistler, having pop in ear flaps, beanie, etc is a real bonus.  And they are super stylish to boot.

Karl Stone - Ski NH
"Bern helmets have changed the game, kids are into wearing helmets now, it is pretty crazy to see that kind of response, usually helmets are like school to kids, they hate them."

Kyle Parsons - Free lance photographer
"The Bern program is pretty intense, it is so different and people are really responding, I can't ride at Squaw without people trying to steal my baker"
