Has anyone used one? They look dope but seem to have weird foam padding like a skateboard helmet. Wondering about winter headbash effectiveness.

And Ya i tried the search bar before someone says it, but there is way mixed reviews on Bern safety.
They don't seem as padded as Giros or REDs

that's why they are "Hardhats" and don't get the ASTM stamp
still stronger than a hat when you wreck

yeah i have a bern baker its got a knitted beanie that attatches to the inside, i havent crashed hard with it but i think its fairly safe as far as i know, its constructed nicely. the 07 helmets are designed more for snow use than previous models
