Allright, i've seen a lot of kids this year wearing bern helmets, specifically the baker, are they played out? they look sick, but I don't really want to be just another kid with the same helmet... if you know what I mean. Are they worth buying, or should I just get something else?

Bakers are sick but trendy. But anything these days are trendy. Just get a white if they have black or vice versa. Or the G10.

not much protection?    i was ripping a hard pack groomer fakie at full speed (which was REALLY fast)    i hit a rock and fell right onto my head onto ice.   i was wearing my baker and it seriously offered more protection than ANY red or giro helmet i've ever worn.  


don't bash it unless you've tried it.

honestly i think it comes down to what your gonna be doing that you need the helmet for. i think of the baker as a skate helmet. i own one and thats pretty much what i plan on using it for, just for rolling around the park and to stop myself from having headaches from bumping my head on stuff. if your gonna be charging tree lines or are worried about screwing up on big jumps and landing on your head i would reccommend something like a giro. my hill is tiny and on the east coast, i hit mostly the park and do not consider myself to be too hardcore of a rider, and i am a good enough skiier that im not worried about getting out of control and running off the trails and hitting trees at high speed. so i think the baker is just peachy for what i want it to do.

ie. baker is straight and stylish if you just want to wake up the next day without headaches. but if you are trying to protect yourself from serious head injuries i would look at something else.

youd be a tool for wearing one beacause you dont care about protection yet your still wearing a helmet so clearly your wearing it for the "look". if you dont care then why are buying one?

I never thought I'd see a helmet being played out... who cares?? if you like it and you think it looks good, forget about what other people think about it, and know that you look steezy.

whatever. i don't care what you think about my post. i just tried to describe the level of protection the helmet offered. at least i posted something constructive instead of criticism about another post.
