Is the FEND SUPER safe? Yes!

FEND SUPER is designed to meet US CPSC and European EN1078 safety standards. The helmet stays open during impact using our patented locking system.

We are using the same safety technology as found in our FEND One helmet, which is fully certified by SGS Labs, the world’s leading testing, inspection, and certification company.

Are the lights removable?

The lights are easily removable and snap securely in place when attached. They are also rechargeable via USB-C.

How long will the battery last?

The LED lights offer up to 20 hours of runtime and can be charged via USB-C. The battery will last through approximately 300-500 charge cycles; however, this depends on usage and charging habits (i.e., how long it is left on the charger after it is fully charged).

Are the batteries in the lights replaceable?

The battery cells are not replaceable since they are soldered together. Also, the housing is sonically welded together in order to create a waterproof seal. With that said, we intentionally designed the lights to be removable so they can be easily replaced if anything happens. The lights will also be sold separately.

Are the lights waterproof?

Yes! The lights are waterproof with an IPX6 waterproof rating.

What is the difference between the original FEND One helmet and FEND SUPER?

The main differences are in the design aesthetic and the ultra-bright lights. In designing FEND SUPER, we wanted to focus more on a commuter-centric design and incorporate removable front and taillights for nighttime visibility. With that said, both FEND SUPER and FEND One use the same patented locking system, which allows the helmet to stay open during impact and fold by 50% in size.

BackerKit FAQ

What is BackerKit?

BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!

The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.

How does BackerKit work?

After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.

I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?

The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.

Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.

To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.

How do I update my shipping address?

BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.

When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?

That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.

I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?

As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
