Bern Helmets Featured in Weartested’s Urban Helmet Guide

Finding the right helmet for city rides isn’t easy; but when the gear experts at Weartested speak, we suggest you give it a listen. Their just-released 2025 Urban Bike Helmet Guide puts a couple of our helmets through the wringer; and the Hudson & Brentwood 2.0 made the list.

In their deep dive into the best helmets for urban riders in 2025, Weartested put a spotlight on the Bern Hudson MIPS—and not just for its good looks. What really set the Hudson apart was its NTA 8776 certification, a rigorous e-bike safety standard that most helmets simply don't meet.

"The Bern Hudson MIPS stands out as a top-tier urban and e-bike helmet, boasting advanced safety credentials including the NTA 8776 e-bike certification, a 5-star Virginia Tech safety rating, and integrated MIPS technology to reduce rotational impact forces."

Translation? It’s built for speed, streets, and the stop-and-go chaos of city life. Whether you’re commuting to work or dodging delivery scooters on your way to the farmer’s market, the Hudson is engineered to keep up. The review also called out features like the MIPS system for rotational impact protection, an integrated rear light option, and a lightweight yet rugged shell that balances comfort with protection.

We appreciate the team at Weartested for taking the time to review the Hudson and for recognizing the work that goes into building helmets that go the extra mile.
