Bern

Allston Helmet with Flip Visor

It was a long time coming, but last year Bern finally released their first cycling-specific helmet: the Allston. The designers worked with the world's best cyclo-cross racers and bicycle messengers to create a helmet that performs as well as it looks, from rugged cross courses to urban environments, and haven't seen the need to mess with what works.

Sixteen strategically-placed vents result in fifty percent more airflow than in other Bern models, making it ideal for hot days and long rides. Zipmold technology uses a liquid injection method that fuses lightweight high-impact foam and a tough PVC shell to protect your noggin without weighing you down, and Sink Fit features a low-profile configuration so the helmet fits around your head, not on top. An integrated visor can be worn flipped up to suit your style or down to shade your eyes.
