CR's Take

The Fend Super Plus is a relatively expensive urban helmet that earns near-top scores for impact absorption and ease of use in our tests. Available in three sizes, it features a dial-fit system, integrated front and rear LED lights, and a folding design that reduces the helmet's size for easier storage and transport. The helmet includes a one-year warranty and a damage replacement program but does not incorporate rotational impact protection technology. Its folding mechanism may take some time to learn, but it allows the helmet to fit more easily into bags when not in use. The USB-C rechargeable lights are designed to improve visibility, and the helmet is certified for use while riding bicycles, e-bikes up to 20 mph, scooters, and skateboards. Fend also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
