No list of commuter-friendly helmets would be complete without one of the classics from Bern. Combining design elements from skate style, the Bern Watts is the one helmet that any urban cyclist would be happy to be seen in. An update on Bern’s signature model, the Baker, the Watts has added vents cut into its tough ABS shell and EPS hard foam. Available in a multitude of colours, the integrated peaked cap sets it off a treat.

Price: £54.99, available from Bern.
