Every "bike" helmet needs to meet the standard, but Bern sells snowboard and skate helmets. Be sure to get the correct version for your use.

As far as safety goes: Every helmet sold in the US is CPSC approved, so there should not be a noticable safety difference between helmets.

We have only had 5-6 Prolights come through the shop, but all were under 200g on my scale, which honestly I wouldn't trust is more accurate than within 10%. The one I have weighs 187g according to my scale.

Just curious: which Giro weighs 185g? The Prolights we've had in the shop have come in >225g.

I googled bern helmets and clicked on the first link, a bern brentwood, it's claimed weight was 21 oz or 595 grams, your bell weighs about 300 grams, and my giro weighs 185 grams. I now see that bern makes more lightweight models,. You deserve your apple and I applaud the educated retort.

I say foul, Brandon. I bet you're tuning them, all German weight weenie style!

...and I would if I knew how.

LOL! If I knew how I would. But I know better than to tune something that contributes directly to my own safety.

I like mine, they're as safe as any other, and, for what it's worth, I get more compliments on my 'cute helmet' than on anything else I ever wear (haha).

I ordered mine online and mine is NOT size-adjustable except through the straps, and it doesn't fit as well as I'd like (xs women's size is still too large for me? I'm pretty sure I have a normal sized head), so I'd definitely try them on in person.
