Product Information

FEND checks all three boxes but manages to give you a fourth: How convenient is it to carry around when you hop off the bike?

There are a handful of helmets on the market that fold up or otherwise collapse like some sort of origami headgear, and that makes them more convenient to carry around when dismounting from your bike. We found it to be very well ventilated, and would recommend it as the best folding helmet for ventilation. The Plico is also made from recycled EPS foam— so it has some recycled components in it, but may still be hard for ordinary people to recycle.I just clip the chin strip of my helmet to the outside of my backpack, so size really doesn't matter as it doesn't take up space inside the bag. The Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute has a guide on folding helmets, but both this guide and others we’ve seen avoid taking a definitive stance on the helmets’ safety other than mentioning which safety standards the helmets fall under. As someone who has always struggled to blow up balloons, I found inflating the Airnoggin to be a bit of a task (you have to inflate it by mouth), and wasn’t ever quite sure if I had inflated it enough.

The 14 vents offer a great amount of airflow across the head, and it offers the same protection as normal helmet. Based on data we personally collected in New York City in the one year period between April 2019 and April 2020, the Morpher and Closca Fuga were the two most popular folding helmets. Electric scooters and electric bicycles have experienced a surge in popularity, due in part to the pandemic and global warming. Closca is very convenient to use because it can be folded and put in a bag; it also has a very good design. With Overade, help create a world where micro-mobility, the environment and well-being come together.

In the months I’ve had the FEND, I’ve fallen in love with this helmet because it makes running errands around town so much easier.

But it claims to protect your head far more than an ordinary woollen hat, which was enough for me to give it a go. So a gentle fall from your bike, put possibly not you landing on your head after going over the handlebars. However, this may change as newer folding helmets, such as the FEND, start penetrating the folding helmet market. The lightest helmet on the list, it’s comfortable and comes in some genuinely gorgeous colors inspired by the Aurora Borealis. Hedkayse argues that this makes the helmet safer as it protects against a wider range of impacts– particularly smaller knocks that may lead to concussions that other helmets may not protect against.To fold, you just push down the concentric rings (usually with your thumbs, while holding the helmet in your hands), with a little bit of force. But it also won’t feel too heavy either; medium-sized helmets weight at just 340g, and large at only 375g. The fact that it’s so light, comfortable, easy to carry by hand, easy to fold, and that it easily fits in any backpack due to its super-thin size makes it so there’s no excuse for not wearing it.
