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..."
Scotty Lago - Pro Snowboarder
"Bern's got the goods - more on the way. Lago Pro Model, Dropping
07-08!"
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."
Chris Collins - Pro Skier, little cotton wood Icon
"I am excited to be a part of bern and help test all the knew
stuff they are brewing"
Sweet CO Snowboard Shop
"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 Lamoureax - 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
ofBern."
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"
John Shelly - Influence Tech Tycoon and NZ National Snowboard Champion
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"
Bob Siener - www.fireonthemtn.com
"Bern has been our hottest new product we have sold this year"
