Great Helmet, Visor Surprisingly Useful
I recently started commuting on a scooter to work, and wanted a helmet for both night visibility and that looked "adult". This meets both criteria. The LED red light is bright, and offers a strobe and flash mode for high visibility. It is also detachable and is recharged through micro-usb (not usb C sadly).The helmet features the MIPS impact system, a big plus for me. Good to know that if I take a tumble what little brains I have will remain somewhat unscrambled. This system works by having a thin plastic lining in the helmet that shifts on impact, allowing the helmet to absorb more rotational force than a traditional helmet. This stops the impact energy from being directly transferred into your head, and therefore your brain (not good!). Very important.I also was surprised at how well the visor does at keeping the sun out of my eyes during my morning commute. The way the helmet sits (at least on me) is just above my eyebrows on the front, so the visor is perfectly positioned to keeping my eyes in the shade. The visor is also removable and they include a separate velcro comfort strap to take its place that also does a great job of soaking up your sweat.The fit system this helmet uses is a very friendly harness system with twist knob. Simply tighten the knob to get the perfect fit on your head (you still need to get the correct size helmet of course). No fiddling with a bunch of straps and tightening/loosening and hoping you got it right. You will feel this thing grip the occipital knob on the back of your head and KNOW it is in the correct spot.Overall, well worth the money for an easy to use and very safe helmet with multiple great safety features!

Great Helmet, poor light
This is a great helmet (five stars). Comfortable, cool and lightweight. The light is very finicky and dim (-1 star). I only use this as a backup in emergencies and it should not be relied upon as your sole light. If you are looking at this for the integrated light, I would discourage. However, if you are looking for a quality helmet that is comfy, this is it.

Will Buy Again
I have had this BERN Hudson helmet for close to a year and no complaints. Looks good, easy to fit to head, liked the visor and light. Most importantly it worked - as in I took a spill and know for a fact that the helmet did the job. Riding through the local park I came off the edge of the pavement (yes, I was going too fast) and the drop off was deeper than expected when I tried to get back onto the pavement I lost control and wrecked. As they say "everything happened so fast" but I do remember smacking my helmet hard on the pavement and hearing the helmet grind across the pavement. I had some pretty bad scrapes on my left arm and leg (ouch it still hurts thinking about them). I am quite sure that things would have been much worse without the helmet. So, yes, I will buy this helmet again.

Impressed with the look and quality.
I haven't used it yet but I have gone through unpackaging, fitting & sorting through parts. I purchased this to use as a new electric scooter owner.It comes well packaged, with a bonus sticker tag.My head measured 22 1/4-22 1/5 inches (approx 67 cm.) so I ordered the Medium. It has a loose fit but the dial adjusts it tightly on my head.I love the visor & its removable with a replacement pad included.The lock holes are a nice size & the light pops easily in & out for charging.Overall, I'm impressed with the look, fit, quality & the price was fair.

Cheaply made, didn't include the visor.
All the plastic on the helmet feel cheaply made - the fit adjuster as well as the integrated light are both cheap, thin plastics. It's also extremely bulky. The entire helmet would be a good deal for $60 or so, but when I'm paying $120+ for a helmet I expect it to be made with quality materials. Mine also didn't include the integrated visor, although that could have just been a packaging mistake.

Great helmet!
Love this helmet! The fit is unique to just about any other helmet I’ve tried. The BOA tensioner secures the helmet only around the hat line, so there aren’t any hot spots or pressure on the crown of your head. Brilliant fit. The MIPS liner is a great precaution to head injury—I will only buy helmets with this tech now. I also love the venting for summer biking. The removable built-in light didn't work correctly out of the box, but Bern exchanged it promptly at no charge. I wish it were brighter, but it’s a good backup.I loved this helmet so much, I bought the Bern Watts winter helmet as well.

Excellent Helmet & Excellent Customer Service
Love this helmet. I had a slight matter with the light but Bern Customer Service came to the rescue and addressed it promptly. It's been very reliable since and I'm beyond satisfied. Highly recommended!

Passt gut, optisch Deluxe und praktisch!
Der Helm hält, was er verspricht und sieht dazu noch klasse aus. Für jede modebewusste Radlerin und jeden schicken Radler eine klare Kaufempfehlung!Die einzige Frage, die bleibt: Wohin mit dem Zopf? Aber das ist wohl ein allgemeines Problem bei Fahrradhelmen!Dafür ist die Lampe am Hinterkopf der Hammer!Anmerkung zur Farbe: sehr gut kombinierbar. Auffällig, aber trotzdem sehr schlicht.
