Ok, I know that bern's helmets like the baker are just "hard hats" and dont conform to the snow safetly standards.  But how about the "G"? I know its their snow helmet but I couldnt find anywhere that said it was up to the safety standards...I guess Im just really paranoid about my head.

Bakers are safe aswell, they are rated for white water which means greater force from hitting rocks, Had a large stack with mine on a raceboard and it is still 100%, if i had the same stack on my red helmet it would have died.

No...the Bakers are not rated for whitewater use either. Odds are they would pass if submitted for testing, but Bern has not ponied up the cash to get them certified. (what i gather from the labels inside the bakers.
