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!
@raffanegro@bramdegeyter@everyone Great question. FEND is much more compact than the Carrera helmet. FEND reduces by 70%, where the Carrera helmet only reduces by 20%.

@christianvonheifner@bramdegeyter@everyone Thank you Christian. I do like the product, you should mention that in the description :) Also, I'd love to have some kind of water repellent material that would cover my head :)
@raffanegro@bramdegeyter@everyone Regarding keeping your head dry in the rain, we are working on a number of things behind the scenes. If we hit our Kickstarter goal, stay tuned for what's to come!

Love the design! I always found the traditional helmets too bulky and inconvenient to carry around. This is perfect. Great job guys!
@neil_borden Thanks Neil! And great idea - cities with bike-sharing programs (like Citibike in NYC) are a big focus.

@kutakdogan@neil_borden looks fantastic! And I agree, there's so many cities with bike sharing programs that offer no helmet options. If I were to check out a shared bike, I would definitely pay extra $$ to rent one of these helmets out of a vending machine. Or I would buy my own knowing it would be easy enough to transport in my bag.
You have reached the point of brilliance, when usability and look and feel merge together to form great product. Looks so damn stylish and futuristic. Thumbs up!
@aramiggs Thanks Aram, that really means a lot. @christianvonheifner is a very prolific industrial designer and most recently responsible for the design and mechanics of the FDA-grade HERO device (herohealth.com).
I've honestly always dreaded wearing bike helmets due to their inconvenience. This is awesome though! Looks great :) What other products do you guys have in mind because I can use a collapsable snowboarding helmet too! @christianheifner@kutadogan
@davidsfeng Hi David. I've always dreaded wearing bulky, inconvenient helmets too, and I ride my bike EVERYWHERE! This is our first product, but if we hit our goal on Kickstarter, we have immense ideas on the horizon and in development! snowboarding, skate, etc.
