I'm making my first foray into bike helmets, I'm not experienced.Can anyone give me a brief explanation why there are so many- they look the same!

This is a good all around helmet. Mot ideal for road racing, but great for a mountain bike or recreational riding.

You should go to http://www.bernunlimited.com/ and compare the helmets there. The bikes with the "all season" logo would be best http://www.bernunlimited.com/innovation/#all-season-logo

They all have the same DOT requirement so spending more doest get you a better helmet. More vents mean a cooler helmet. B.B. is nice because it offers both style & safety. You can change visor or add ear warmers. It's all up to what you like. If your a city cruiser the B.B. is very nice.

Hopefully you'll agree that this one doesn't look the same. I was looking for something that gave great protection, looked cool like a motorcycle helmet and was affordable. The Bern Berkeley does it for me. There are different sizes and colors, some have a removable liner (love that) which makes it really adjustable and others are for colder weather. Overall, though, the Bern are all curved and not weird alien looking helmets like the Tour de France riders wear. Hope that helps.

They run the same size as a normal helmet. I suggest going to a local motorcycle shop and trying on a few and see what size fits you best.

There is also an Amazon.com Bike Helmet Buying Guide. I was right in between medium and large. I chose large. To make sure, there was a bike shop at the University that sold Berns (much more expensive there) and I tried on both M and L.

The look will be ok depending on your personal style if you care about that stuff. I would say that the helmet is a bit more heavy than the standard bicycle helmet. it's about 2 to 3 pounds, give or take. Good protection. The strap is not that easy to put on and take off. I don't know how fast you go on your bike but i really like that it doesn't rise up with the wind and i've gone as fast as 80mph.

Not sure about the white helmet, but they should all say the same, I own the matte blue with the orange straps it just says Giro. Amazing helmet

All three! Is that correct? Do I win?Naw just kidding, I am just a novice but to me all four machines seem to be the same (now I may be wrong) to me only the frames are different. If you send me your email I will take Picts of all four and send to you so you can inspect them.Your decision.But all in all everything looks and works really good and the reviews were really good.Frank

I was amazed at the quality , and DOT standards , because we looked EVERYWHERE , and I said , let's try Amazon , got a much better helmet , less than half the price everywhere else , and twice the quality ! And my wife's nick-name is mini-mouse , so that gives you an ideal of the size ! But with long hair , and a petite build , her helmet is a perfect fit . Hope this helps ! Yes !

Each unit is for one helmet. They work great though! I own 4. I would recommend buying the 2 pack.

I believe it's just the size difference. My boyfriend and I each have a Bern helmet with the summer visor and they are exactly the same except for size and color.

Actually, the way they mount, the bolts etc. are already on your bike....they mostly mount using the same bolts that hold the wheels on...I am VERY fond of mine.They went on pretty easy, straight forward...and they made my 150.00 beach cruiser look like something really classy! Oh, by the way...the company that sells them were great to work with...I even got a rear view mirror from them after I saw the quality of the fenders...just take your time putting them on; and trust me, you won't be dis-appointed....Hope that helps! :-)

I haven't worn my other Giro helmet since I got this one for $119. I wore it today in 32 degrees with a thin skull cap. Was awesome. I think it is a great lightweight helmet. The looks are not for everyone. The shield is not for everyone, and I wear my sunglasses sometimes instead of the shield. I tend to wear the shield when it is getting dark soon because it's easy to snap back on upside down and have it out of the way.

If it makes you look like a bubble head you probably ordered the wrong size. Mine fits great. Looks smaller than full-face helmet. I'd want a full coverage if I rode a motorcycle at highway speeds, but I ride a Suzuki 700 ATV on desert trails - usually below 25MPH, so the VCAN works well. Warm enough on cold days, and doesn't overheat me in the summer.

I didn't order that option. I got the all gray. Sorry. Btw, if you have no bridge on your nose, it doesn't really work for helmetless riding.

You're right on time. I've had several of these questions how to mount to an MTB helmet but I cannot explain it in typing. So I'm doing a youtube video how to do it since it's more 'visual' how to solve your problem.For your second question, yes, you can 'make' it be interchangeable with two helmets, but you will need a new 3M adhesive pad installed on the second helmet to make it possible. Stay tuned, it'll take a week to complete my youtube video. It'll be on youtube and do a keyword for my username: sticksofkansas.

Hi Brian, I've had my scooter/bike for a year and use a full head bicycle helmet. But it can't hurt to get a skull type motorcycle helmet. I JUST LOVE MY JETSON !!!

Hey Beverly.A woman should be able to wear this helmet without any problems. I have the large version and its very adjustable. I may get a small/medium if I were a woman, unless you're taller and have a larger head. I am six feet tall and have a somewhat large head and the large works well.Im not sure about mounting reflectors. I personally have found that its a little easier to put reflectors on seat posts pedals and other parts of the bike, but to each his own. All in all its a good helmet. I think you'd be happy with it in small. I came from a Giro Hex which was also a nice helmet, but this helmet has more venting and as a result keeps you quite a bit cooler in hot weather. Best of luck. Hey Beverly.A woman should be able to wear this helmet without any problems. I have the large version and its very adjustable.
