Bern Ski and Snowboard Helmets

Bern is a pioneering lifestyle brand that specialized in seasonal head protection, gaining fame for its signature ‘brimmed’ helmet design. Founded in 2004 by Dennis Leedom in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the company sought to provide action sports athletes with a single helmet that could be adapted for winter sports, biking, and skating. The brand became an iconic staple in the snowboarding and skiing communities through its ‘All Season’ concept.

While the brand was born and remains engineered in the United States, manufacturing is primarily handled by specialized facilities in China to leverage advanced injection molding and carbon fiber technologies. Over the years, Bern has evolved from an independent startup to a globally recognized brand, maintaining a high standard for safety certifications like MIPS integration.

In recent years, the brand transitioned under the ownership of private investment to ensure its growth in the competitive outdoor gear market. The brand continues to focus on aesthetic-driven safety gear for non-motorized action sports, maintaining its headquarters in the United States while distributing products to retailers worldwide.
