Most companies that design products for cyclists are unfamiliar with Chicago winters. This is why Elise was really stoked about the Bern helmets.
"They are warm and fuzzy. And fluffy!"
Helmets?!
Indeed, they are:
The helmets are integrated with a full range of weather protection liners, including water-shedding visors, ear flaps, knit cold weather liners, and, Elise's favorite, furry lined winter inserts.
Plus, they are a festive departure from the usual "banana helmets", and come in a wide range of eye-catching hues and patterns. Here, we model the orange-brown color scheme.
It will be a refreshing change of pace to be able to offer a helmet to winter bike riders without having to engineer a solution to keep their heads warm.





I wish I could have stayed longer, but had to get back to SF and make bags. It was good to have you guys in our booth!
