Bern Brentwood Snow Helmet - 2012 Special Buy

I bought the helmet trying to get a three to four season helmet I could wear in winter and Summer for my mountain bike. I wanted better coverage with fewer openings for ventilation (we have a lot of thorns and sharp cactus in Texas).It came with a winter liner, but no summer liner without the ear flaps. REI also does not provide a way to order the "optional" summer headband liner. I went to the Bern Website and they do not sell them direct. I went to the dealer listings and No one carries the summer headband liner for this helmet. It was advertised as multi-sport and multi-season, but falls far short in both categories. Providing the summer headband and the winter liner in the same kit would have been too simple and logical. Since I bought it from the REI Outlet site as a clearance item I have little recourse and little chance of ever getting the summer liner. Bottom line: Get a Summer helmet and a winter helmet and forget trying to find one that can do both.
