Bern Brentwood w/ Winter Knit Insert

Over the past year or so, my cranium has been adorned by the Bern Brentwood for commuting purposes. This particular model is manufactured under Bern's "ZipMold" process, where the PVC shell is molded with liquid-injected foam. The result? The helmet is very light, very strong, and is less susceptible to becoming extremely brittle as typical helmet foam does. 

The trouble is that I ride in the winters here in Wisonsin, and extra layers on my head dramatically change the fit, i.e., the helmet doesn't fit. Thankfully, Bern thought of this and developed the Winter Knit (Hunter). Here's a shot of the helmet as-is (with a ContourHD mount on the side). 

It was Movember. What can I say?

The Mrs. said, "Stick your chin out." So I did. The winter kit snaps into place where the visor kit once resided.

I rode all last winter with this kit, along with some other goodies that will show up here once the snow and sub-zero temps arrive. I usually ride with an Ibex skull cap and neck gaiter down into the single digits. Much colder than that requires goggles and a breathing mask (foreshadowing).

Happy riding.
