I was going to say G10mx, I love mine.
But I guess you are a 14 year old girl and gotta stay fresh or whatever, fashion police will track ya down.

Sorry, ummm, Poc makes nice helmets if you have the money.  The Berns look cool, but some are only considered hardhats, kind of the opposite of poc.  Smith makes some dope helmets.

Yeah the berns are very nice. My baker has all the helmet standards and everything. The hardhat models are more comfortable because they are a squishy foam but they are less protecting. I love my baker.

Bern has a huge emphasis on Women's helmets, there all specially designed to fit a womens head perfectly as opposed to some companies that just size down. There line is also very diverse. it is a good option for sure. check them out

POC is pretty sick and they just came out with some new lids. Bern is good to but not up to the quality of everyone else, technically it is a "hard hat". But i like mine

huge clarification here. straight from the source I worked for Bern this summer.

BERN MAKES THREE TYPES OF LIDS.

Hard Hats with multiple impact Brock Foam (not certified, but pending certification and still very safe)

Helmets with EPS Foam, certfied under all the standards of Ski and Snowboard helmets.

Helmets with ZIP Mold Technology also certfied under all the standards of ski and snowboard helmets.


all Bern models are avaliable as a certified helmet.
