Bern Announces the Best Helmets for the Spring and Summer 2022 Season

New style Major joins the Hudson, Brentwood 2.0, and Niño 2.0 as the lightest and most stylish e-bike, skate, and all-terrain helmets for this season


Plymouth, Mass.—April 11, 2022— Bern, the Massachusetts-based helmet company known for its street-inspired style and 18+ years of experience designing gear for professional athletes and novices alike, announced the launch of its spring and summer 2022 helmet line. The latest styles to be released from the iconic brand include the Hudson, which was specifically created to meet standards for e-bike riding up to 27 MPH and is now the lightest NTA-rated helmet on the market; the Brentwood 2.0, featuring added ventilation and ZipMold technology to make it 15% lighter than the original; and the Niño 2.0, Bern’s custom-made, all-season child’s helmet now available with Mips protection technology. This season also marks the debut of Bern’s brand-new model, the Major, which was created specifically for the urban commuter with its signature, low-profile style and maximum ventilation. All helmets are available for purchase directly from Bern and from specialty retailers.  


The Bern spring-summer 2022 helmet launch comes on the heels of a successful Olympic season for the brand in Beijing: Bern’s signature, low-profile, classic skate-style helmets crowned the heads of Lindsey Jacobellis, who took home the gold medal in snowboard cross in her fourth Olympic run, and Nick Baumgartner, who earned gold in his fourth Olympic games. Both athletes have been wearing Bern on and off the slopes for over a decade, and have helped the brand establish and maintain its strong credibility as a stylish, safe, and durable lid among some of the most avid riders. That same affinity is shared by amateur bike enthusiasts and commuters in recent years, and with the introduction of the Hudson, the lightest helmet with the highest safety rating to hit the market in its category, the brand anticipates a strong following to come among a growing number of e-bike riders in cities across the country. 


For over 18 years, Bern has been creating high-quality helmets that emphasize style, comfort, and protection. Unlike other helmets on the market, Bern helmets are convertible for all seasons and come in three different materials and five different sizes custom-molded for kids and adults for a custom look and feel. Whether you’re a hardcore rider, occasional commuter, or kid just starting out, Bern has a helmet for you and your lifestyle. For enhanced safety, all Bern helmets come with a Mips® protection option, which features technology designed to reduce rotational motion during impact.
