FEND One Helmet

I am an active user of Citi Bikes to get around Manhattan and Queens and needed a helmet. I ended p askign someone who was docking thier bike when I saw them collaple it in an instant.

The FEND One is the smartest and best bike helmet I have ever had. One click on either side and the full-size helmet folds like crossing your fingers and is about the size of a football. I carry it everywhere in my backpack, and it fits along with my lunch, tech, and whatever else I need. It is amazing how little space it takes up in my bag. I am grateful to have found it and would recommend it to everyone.

Last year, I purchased a FEND One helmet for our adult son when he was visiting us from London, UK. This past summer (Aug. 3-Sept. 7, 2023), he went on a solo bicycle trip from London to Corfu, Greece via the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, and Albania, covering approximately 2,000 miles. He had two accidents: the first while going downhill in the Italian Alps when his front tire burst and he went straight over the handlebars and landed squarely on his FEND One (see Video) and the second, again going downhill, on a wet, gravelly road in Albania, near the end of his journey. In both accidents, his Fend One absolutely protected his head. He only had cuts and bruises and the FEND One sustained only cosmetic damage (see photo).

I would like to thank FEND for making such a well-crafted and strong helmet! My son is also extremely grateful for the protection it afforded him on his journey, and when bicycling around London. He also took advantage of FEND's excellent Accident Replacement Program and received a new FEND One so that he can continue to enjoy that protection.

I bike around NYC a lot, going to and from work and just around town for events. I spent ages finding. a helmet that didn't look silly and was easy to travel with when not riding. This is 100% the helmet! Easy to fold, easy to pop the lights in and out to charge, and light enough to not add weight to your backpack for storage. I got the helmet in black, but I low key wish I would have got something fun and bright like the green haha. I'm so happy with my purchase!

The delivery to Germany was without any problem, and the helmet is as stylish, as functional.

We love our FEND helmets, however; we limit their use to when we travel abroad. They pack very well. Our helmets had formed a minor crack in the foam inner shell at the temple area that was not from a fall. FEND honored their accident replacement policy and replaced the helmets, only charging us for the shipping. That speaks volumes for the integrity of this company.

I want to start by saying- I love this helmet. It's great for commuting in the city and storing away in a pack/ under my desk at work. It's also easily adjustable for changes in my hairstyles or winter headgear on the go. I can't even tell you how many people see it, and are in awe of the collapsing features.

However, I will say above all else- FEND's customer service reigns supreme. I got into an accident last year, and after reporting my incident to FEND, they sent me a new helmet ASAP for free! Their team stands by that the most important thing to them is that your head stays protected! My FEND protected me from that accident- no head injuries or concussions. My bike and my tire tracked coated AirPods can't say the same!

This year, I began having difficulty with the back adjuster knob to tighten the helmet. I sent a video into their customer service team hoping there was a replacement part, and I was surprised to hear that yet again, FEND wanted to offer me a new helmet and to send my feedback to their improvement team!

These folks stand by their product through and through. My only setback is that I didn't go for the one with lights, and by the way my FEND One experience has gone, it may be years before I need to upgrade.

I have had this helmet for about two months and absolutely love it! It fits so well into my bag or when my bag is full it clips on and takes up minimal space. The locking mechanism always feels incredibly secure making me feel as safe on my ride as I feel when wearing a non-foldable helmet.

I wanted a helmet which I could pack for my travels which wouldn't take up too much space, but also be protective. They fulfilled both boxes easily. It was also not-an-eyesore, which is important too.
The only down-side is that is that it's a little heavier than my racing helmets, but it's a fair trade-off for the space it saves.
So far it has seen many adventures & I hope, many more.

I'm really happy with the fit when using, and ability to fold when not in use. (Gives me one less excuse not to take the helmet when I'm commuting.) And a shout out to great customer service!

Good condition, good delivery,fast shipping the rate 10/10

I tried some foldable helmets.this is the best one!

Easy to stash in backpack when not biking. Easy to lock and unlock

Great fit and easy enough to manuever the folding mechanism. Easier with two hands fyi

This is an excellent helmet for someone that likes to bike while traveling. I hate wearing the rental helmets and this foldable helmet makes it possible to bring your own without taking a lot of space in your luggage.
The helmet is lightweight and even though I have a large head it fits well.

The Fend customer service team has been wonderful to deal with and address any issues I've had with this innovative product. Given it's the first of its kind that I know of on the market, I'm impressed by how the team is willing to adapt and provide support when there are issues.

This commuter helmet is perfect for those who need to store their helmet into a small backpack after use. It is durable, stylish, and shrinks to the perfect size. The incredible customer service was even able to provide me with spare clips and went above and beyond. I highly recommend Fend and its products!

I am thrilled with my decision.
Very comfortable, good-looking and very easy to keep in the backpack

highly recommend.

I carry my helmet with my at all times in NYC which gives me the flexibility to use cuticles to go wherever.
It folds so well and so easy to slide into my day bag.
It’s solid helmet and the customer service is amazing.

Got 2 of these for myself and my spouse. I am usually XL in hat size, but the M/L size fits me well. These helmets take very little space in the closet (we hang them in the coat closet using the chin strap) and are very well made and comfortable. Don't look bulky either!

I opted for the Fend folding helmet with lights. The product I received was far beyond my expectations. It is very well designed and is solidly constructed. It folds easily and fits perfectly in my bike rack bag. At $129, it is a fantastic value. I don't write a lot of reviews, but I felt this product deserves one. Customer service is also fantastic. I had a question on my shipment, and I received a reply within a couple of hours--on a weekend !!! I am not use to such great service in this day and age. Keep it up Fend. Your products rock !

I've had my FEND for a bit over a year, and I can honestly say it's the best helmet I've ever owned. In part, it's because it's my most used. It's light and easy to store in a backpack or hooked on a tote bag when commuting in the city. It's also easily adjustable for if I'm wearing winter gear or have my hair in a differing style.

I can't tell you how many compliments I get on the design and foldability! Everywhere I go, I'm being asked by coworkers, REI employees, fellow bikers, etc.

I also have to give huge props to their commitment to their buyers and their safety. I got into my first crash this week (me versus pavement, luckily no cars). I googled if they had any sort of discount for damaged helmets, and I learned they would send a free replacement to me after it got damaged. Sure enough, after one email, I've ordered a brand new helmet for free! If you're worried about spending the money, don't be. FEND has you covered from head to road.

Just got my FEND Helmet and it's awesome! Super convenient to carry since it folds, and it's really comfortable too. Feels sturdy and safe, which is great for city biking. Had a small issue with size but the extra included padding helps out a bunch. Definitely recommend it for anyone who bikes a lot!

Althoug, I like the fact that the helmet is collapsable, it is rather heavy. Compared to conventional helmets, that weigh usually around 0.5 lbs, the fend helmet weighs 1.2lbs, light included. And in my opinion, folding in the side panels is not quite so smooth.

Love my FEND helmet! I ride a very crowded NJ Transit bus to & from NYC. The folding feature of the helmet is an enormous benefit, especially when squeezing into a seat with backpack, which very nicely holds by collapsed FEND helmet. Plus, this is a sturdy, well-designed helmet that I feel is better than the rigid, non-collapsible helmet I wear when not commuting. And the fit adjuster in the back of the helmet is awesome - a truly snug and safe fit as I maneuver down 5th Ave during rush hour dodging taxi drivers, police, pedestrians, bike rickshaws, trucks, food carts, tourists, the perpetually confused..... You get it...and get this great helmet for commuting or biking in general.

I have been cycling a long time, and always wear a helmet. I travel a lot for work and find myself in distant cities, renting bikes and scooters, and always feeling regretful at not wearing a helmet to protect my noggin. The few times I have traveled with a full bike helmet, it has cramped my style in my carry-on, and I'm not great at bringing one. I was excited to find FEND making a collapsible helmet. My first helmet was too small (suggestion to the website designer for mobile phones: I could not tell that I was ordering the SMALL instead of REGULAR/LARGE). I received it an instantly knew it was not for me. Fortunately, the FEND customer service department is nimble, responsive, and shipped me a return packing slip, and then sent me the regular size, no questions asked.

Result? I LOVE IT. I collapses by 50% volume, fits well in my luggage. Further more, it is comfortable on bike rides, and I can't wait now to travel with it and bike and scooter like a modern road warrior. Thanks FEND team!

I’ve bought Fend helmets for my family and co-workers. We are in NYC and use Citibike to get around. I can keep my helmet in my backpack so always have it with me. It’s a great helmet and the best part is that I actually have it when I need it. I recommend it without any hesitation.
