//FEND is designed to exceed US CPSC and European EN 1078 safety standards and meet all certification requirements// OK, you've got me interested. Now I want to know how it feels on your head.

Yeah, I'm always super skeptical of "breakthrough" inventions on kickstarter. As much as I'd love an alternative to my bulky helmet, I imagine a solution like this introduces a whole pile of other issues. Adjustability, for instance - my helmet has an adjustable plastic fitting in the back that I can dial up or down depending on how bulky my hair is that day.
@jordanbrock Portability! Carrying a helmet around when you're off the bike is one of the most awkward parts of being a urban cyclist. Sometimes lashing it to the bike is good enough but sometimes (especially in the rain) that's not a good solution.
This doesn't seem to save a whole lot of space when collapsed but even the rectangular-ish profile can be a big help.
