Got a pre-teen whose dome is too small for adult helmets but too big for a kid’s lid? We’ve got you covered with the Bandito—the purpose-built tweener helmet that your pre-teen will actually want to wear. This mini version of the Watts focuses on style and comfort while still helping to protect from their next bad idea. With Bern’s all-season tech, this lid can be fitted with our signature seasonal liners to ensure you aren’t buying armloads of helmets for summer and winter sports. You’re welcome mom and dad!

TECHNICAL GUIDE
*What is EPS?
EPS is lightweight, effective across a wide range of temperatures and conditions and highly effective at reducing the amount of energy transferred to your head during an impact. EPS accomplishes that energy reduction by collapsing during the impact, converting some of the energy into heat and slowing the transmission of energy. A key advantage of EPS is the reliability of the moulded part to deal with impact energy over a wide range of conditions
*What is ABS?
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene is a thermoplastic that is widely used in helmets. From a performance standpoint, ABS has high impact resistance, functions well in cold weather and is, simply put, tough and durable.
