"FEND is designed to exceed all US CPSC and European EN1078 Safety Standards. We will not be able to complete the certification testing until after production by law, however we are confident we will exceed all safety testing standards."
Err... And not a word about safety besides that.
@shimmb Hey Simon. In designing FEND, safety is our top priority, and in following with CPSC and EN1078 guidelines we are currently testing our scientific prototypes in our factories as well as conducting FEA simulations. We will pass 100% the certification requirements with these prototypes and will again conduct the final tests once production is completed.
@nazlidanis Hi Nazli, great question. Both helmets are extremely portable, however, FEND is designed with a streamlined aesthetic allowing for maximum breathability. Also, FEND's resilient joint system allows the helmet to fold in one single movement.
@bonnie_bordonaro Thanks so much Bonnie! In this initial phase of production, we will only be testing to meet US (CPSC) and European (EN1078) bicycle safety standards . In the future, we will expand this to include additional areas (i.e. horseback riding, skateboarding etc), Please let us know if you have any other questions, Thanks!

I do appreciate such simple and useful inventions. Keep going. Our guys now at the end of Kickstarter campaign on a bicycle spring. It also makes you riding comfort. Good to see you on PH :)
Hi @everyone, I am one of the Co-Founders of FEND,
We just launched FEND, the collapsible bicycle helmet that reduces to one-third of its original size and is fully safe. Whether you’re riding to work or to meet up with friends, you can slip it in your bag until you need it again. The beauty is that it doesn’t take up much room!
We’re happy to answer any questions.
Happy Hunting!
