    This relatively expensive Adult urban bike helmet from Bern is rated excellent for impact absorption, excellent for ease of use and fair for ventilation. The many adjustment features translate to a excellent rating for fit adjustment. The length of the strap for the retention system can be adjusted, and it's fairly easy to adjust. This helmet comes in 3 sizes. The weight is relatively moderate and among those we've tested is considered good. This helmet has technology to limit the effects of rotational impacts and additional padding to adjust the fit. It comes with a one year warranty.
