When grown-ups crash a lot, they're called accident-prone, but when a kid takes spill after spill, he's called a kid. Since his tumbles are an unavoidable part of his life, the Bern Nino Boys' Helmet should be too, with its impact-softening construction, comfortable fit, and easy style that he'll be happy to wear. Bern's Sink Fit gives the Nino a low-profile look, so he won't feel like he's sporting a mushroom on his head, and the Zip-Mold technology fuses high-impact foam with a rugged polycarbonate shell to take the sting out of high- and low-speed crashes. The Nino has passive ventilation to help his noggin stay cool and comfortable, a molded eyewear channel that allows comfortable and fog-free use of goggles and sunglasses, and even two custom-fit goggle clip locations that let him set up the helmet to his exact, and no doubt demanding, specs.
