I bought and have been using this helmet daily for the past couple months. Love everything about it. Also accidently ordered the wrong size at first and Unit 1 made the exchange process easy & hassle free. Overall great purchase
Calling your emergency contact is a cool feature. When I had my accident the paramedic called the emergency number on my cell phone. If I would have been alone, nobody would have known anything, and so I can see where this helmet can help with your safety.
Also, I ordered the lumos matrix before this one. The lumos felt cheap and didn't feel like a $250 helmet so I returned it and decided to give the Unit 1 Faro a try. Ask Unit 1 if they can use your code on my order, even if it doesn't give me a small refund I'd love for it to help you out. I literally just ordered it on the 15th
Just received mine in 🇦🇺 after using your code and using a shipping on-forwarder. Quality is very very nice, only thing I didn’t realise is the auto brake light feature only seems to work if you are carrying the remote. Must also be a gyro in the helmet for fall detection work to work? So maybe auto brake without remote will come out in a future update 🤷♂️ Also if you use rainbow lights, the battery lasts less than an hour
You’re not lying! I got in on this helmet back when it was on kickstarter. Love the fit/profile. We also gave one of these away in GCO not too long ago. 🤙🏼⚡️
the kickstarter version took a bit to get to us but the overall fit/feel and design was well appreciated. love the braking light ability. Lumos does have a better custom LED system but this one is way better with weight and waterproofing
I'd be really curious to see where the battery is, and how it's protected in there, personally. Super cool having lights on your head, but not super cool if land on your head and puncture the battery! Yikes. Edit/FYI: I also checked your link and removing the turn signals only brings it down to $240, from $280.
@@JakeLeary I tried manually entering the code, JAKELEARY20, with no luck, but figured out that just by clicking on your link I was able to access the discount via some other code that had the word "Holiday" in it. Appreciate you helping out.
It'll provide a little bit of light in pitch black, enough to look down and make sure foot placement is right. But definitely wont replace a flashlight
Option 1 = Wear a full face helmet Option 2= Wear a half helmet; but remember during an accident to turn the protected part of your head towards the direction of impact. If you don't think that is a very practical solution; see option 1. Remember kids: a half helmet is half of a helmet.
If this is a review of everything on this helmet... Why don't you show a review of the crash detection??? Don't actually crash but hold it and smack it on a wall like a fall or drop it. And TEST if it sends a notice. And TEST the Result of that Notification!!! To your loved one. i.e. how long did it take for the notification??? Did it show the GPS location of where you fell??? Or just tell them that you fell???
Cool looking helmet and probably might be really expensive to get one of these helmets! I am just subscribed to your channel 💯👍🔔🙏 Does Jake Leary respond?
@@JakeLeary Am I missing something? That is a decent price, but when I follow the link you provided it tells me the helmet is $279.80 (without MIPS). 20% doesn't bring it down by $110. Am I doing something wrong here?

I just ordered one with your code for my new e-scooter. I can't wait for it. 1st time I even been excited for a helmet
I was lucky enough to win one through the Gold country OneWheel group for a giveaway and I love it for my night rides!

That helmet is too cool! I’m pretty sure it will be my next helmet 🪖 thanks Jake for all the info man 🤙🏻
Great review! Been looking for reviews for this specifically for my OW.
Does the helmet still have automatic braking without the turn signal add on?
Where did you come up with 168 bucks. The one I saw was 280
You don’t need turn signals and my code gives a discount of 20%
$279.80 w/o mips or discount July 27/22. So….$223.84 no mips + no signal control.
Great video and thank you for the coupon!
Jake, curious if you have a more up-to-date code. Your video convinced me to bite the bullet (a rather sweet bullet) on this purchase. Thanks dude
The code should still be working, no?

Cool helmet, does it help with visibility at night? Where’s all the Seek & Shred videos?
How's the brightness on the front light? It is not enough to not have to carry a flashlight, right?
It'll provide a little bit of light in pitch black, enough to look down and make sure foot placement is right. But definitely wont replace a flashlight
Yep totally agree. It’s meant more to be seen, not to light the road
so i just the xnito helmet cause of your review . so witch is it? this vs the xnito?
The XNITO has more impact protection (bigger/thicker). This Faro has really incredible lights, sleeker and has features on the app.
Thank you
Que color es el que muestras?
Sadly not approved in the Netherlands 😢

cant put a price on safety, you can put a price on a head injury.
Yeah you can it’s called a cheaper price on safety

Because I want to continue wearing the helmet without the strength / protection being compromised from a hard hit.

@@glyphnosis you don’t need the turn signals. With the 20% code it’s $168 without mips or $182 with mips
@@JakeLeary Ah, I see, my bad, didn't realize they were including that by default. Thanks Jake!
Nice helmet but kind of pricey.
$280
What’s $280?
It's too bad there isn't a setting to turn the dorkiness down...
