Bern Helmets
Bern Unlimited, commonly known as Bern, is an American company specializing in the design and manufacture of helmets for various types of sports. Established in 2004, the company is headquartered in Kingston, Massachusetts, USA. Bern is known for producing helmets that combine safety, comfort, and style, catering to cyclists, skiers, snowboarders, skateboarders, and water sports enthusiasts.
History
Bern was founded in 2004 by Dennis Leedom[1], a sports enthusiast who aimed to create helmets that provided superior protection and style compared to those available on the market at the time. The company quickly gained recognition for its innovative designs and multi-sport applications.
Products
Bern is renowned for its signature low-profile helmets, which are designed to have a closer fit to the head compared to traditional helmets. This unique style not only provides aesthetic appeal but also enhances the helmet's protective capabilities. Bern helmets are distinguished by their construction techniques, including the use of Zipmold+ and EPS/ABS construction, which ensure durability and safety.
Innovations
One of Bern’s notable innovations is the integration of the ZipMold technology, a liquid foam injection process that provides a better weight-to-strength ratio, making helmets lighter and more comfortable without compromising on safety. Additionally, Bern introduced the Sink Fit design, which allows the helmet to sit lower on the head for enhanced protection.
Safety Standards
Bern helmets are certified by various safety standards, including those set by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) for bicycle helmets and the ASTM F2040 for snow sports helmets. Their commitment to meeting high safety standards has made them a preferred choice among professional and amateur athletes alike.
