Bern Bike

Frequently Asked Questions

• How does Bern’s MIPS system reduce rotational forces, and which Bern helmets include it?

  Bern uses MIPS (Multi‑Directional Impact Protection System) as a low‑friction layer between the helmet liner and your head to help reduce rotational forces in certain impacts. MIPS is available on select Bern models—check the model specs (the Hudson, for example, includes MIPS)—while other Bern helmets may rely on their shell and EPS liner design without MIPS.
• How should I size and adjust a Bern helmet for a secure, comfortable fit?

  Start by selecting the correct shell size—Bern helmets typically come in three sizes—and place the helmet level on your head so the front edge sits just above the eyebrows. Use the Compass Fit quick‑dial or ratchet‑style occipital stabilizer to achieve a snug but comfortable hold, adjust the locking side‑slides so the straps form a Y just below your ears, and fasten the magnetic buckle for secure everyday use.
