Ultra-portable helmet. Folds by 50% with bright front & taillights. Tested & certified safe.

Story

Ultra-portable and ultra-compact, FEND SUPER folds by 50% in size to easily store comfortably in any bag or backpack. Keep your hands free when you’re not riding and your head safe when you are.

Our waterproof lights allow for 360-degree visibility up to 800 meters away, so you can ride safely no matter the hour. The removable lights offer three flash settings for you to be seen by motorists for safe nighttime riding.

We introduced FEND One to the world in 2016. With over six years of helmet and safety experience, we are now back with FEND SUPER!

We are using the same patented technology as found in our current FEND One helmet, which is safety certified by SGS Labs, the world’s leading testing, inspection, and certification company. FEND SUPER is designed to meet US CPSC and European EN1078 safety standards for bicycles, skateboards, and e-bikes/scooters under 20mph.

Watch the video below to see how FEND SUPER works!

Our team spent years developing a helmet that is not only convenient but also incredibly safe. FEND SUPER is designed to exceed US CPSC and European EN1078 safety standards for bicycles, skateboards, and e-bikes/scooters under 20mph.

FEND SUPER includes 12 streamlined vents that help to keep your head extra cool, especially on those hot days. 

We specifically designed FEND SUPER to have removable lights so you can ride with or without them based on your needs. The helmet is designed to look beautiful with either option. Our snap system ensures the lights will never fall out during riding or while stashing in your bag.  

FEND SUPER has a durable and premium matte finish. Offered in four beautiful colors – Matte Black, Matte White, Hi-Vis Lime, and Hi-Vis Blue. Pre-order now and choose your color when we ship. 

You’ll get a perfect fit no matter your head size or shape with our integrated dial fit system and adjustable straps.

We are a team of designers, creators, engineers, and avid cyclists with a vast amount of knowledge in the helmet space and are based in NY. We started FEND in 2016 with a goal to get a helmet onto every rider’s head. Since then, we have delivered to thousands of happy customers and are now back with our latest addition, FEND SUPER.

At the end of the campaign, we will send you a survey via email where you can select your color and size.

Color options: You will be able to choose your color at the end of the campaign in the survey. FEND SUPER will be available in 4 colors: Matte Black, Matte White, Hi-Vis Lime, and Hi-Vis Blue.

Sizes: FEND SUPER will be offered in 3 sizes: Small (S), Medium (M), and Large (L). You can select your size in the survey sent after the campaign. We will also send a size guide to help with the selection.

Shipping, duties, and taxes (where applicable) will be charged separately prior to shipping. We will send out a survey after the campaign ends, before shipping.

Due to increasing shipping rates, we do not want to charge shipping now as we believe prices will decrease in the next several months.

Here are our estimated shipping costs:

* Prices do not include taxes and VAT. That will be subject to the laws and regulations of each individual country.

** Note prices listed here are dependent on circumstances and may increase or decrease by a few dollars in the coming months.

**If your country is not listed as a shipping option, then we currently do not offer shipping to that country. However, please send us an email at hello@fend.io if you are from a country that is not shown above. If there are enough requests, we will add it as an option later.

We could have only gotten this far because of the amazing support we’ve gotten from this community! Click below on your favorite social platform to share FEND SUPER. 

Risks and challenges

We are a team of designers, creators, and engineers with a vast amount of knowledge in the helmet space. We are extremely dedicated, passionate, and committed to delivering the best possible product to all of our backers. We started in 2016 when we launched our first Kickstarter campaign and successfully delivered shortly after. Through this first campaign, we learned so much along the way and are confident we can deliver and will provide a great experience. Since then, we have expanded our team and have built a great relationship with our manufacturing and safety testing partners. We have gone through numerous prototype iterations and hundreds of hours of engineering and testing in order to create the best product for you. We are working day and night to ensure that your support is not lost. Yet it is important to understand that unexpected circumstances may arise (i.e. global pandemic, global supply chain crisis, etc). With that said, we will work as hard as we can to deliver the FEND SUPER and will commit to being fully transparent every step of the way.

Environmental commitments

FEND SUPER is designed to be water-resistant with durable materials for long-lasting use. It is built with a durable ABS outer shell, high-impact absorbing EPS core, and a durable matte finish. The removable front and tail lights are waterproof and sealed to withstand all weather conditions. All FEND products are designed with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship.

Environmentally friendly factories

We have partnered with an ethical manufacturer we have worked with for the past six years. We are ensuring that they abide by all rules and regulations of the government and that all waste is recycled or disposed of properly.

Sustainable Distribution

We have established a seamless and sustainable supply chain model, optimizing our logistics, shipping, and distribution. We strive to create the most efficient means to deliver the best product from our manufacturer to our warehouse straight to you.
