    I’ve been using this smart helmet for biking for some time now, and I’m honestly very happy with it. The helmet feels comfortable and well made, even during longer rides, and it doesn’t feel heavy or awkward on my head. What really stands out are the smart safety features. The built-in lights and turn signals make a big difference when riding in traffic or at night, and they give me extra confidence on the road. Setup was easy, and after a short learning curve everything feels intuitive to use. I also like the design, which looks modern without being overdone or bulky. If there’s one thing that could be improved, it would be making the battery status a bit more noticeable, but overall this is a great product. It genuinely adds safety and peace of mind to everyday cycling, and I would recommend it to anyone who rides regularly.

    I can’t say enough great things about Unit 1 and their incredible customer experience. I recently had a zipper issue with my Torch Backpack, and their team went above and beyond to make it right. The replacement process was smooth, quick, and completely stress-free. A special thank you to Ana, who was exceptionally gracious, patient, and genuinely helpful on the phone—she made the entire experience feel effortless and truly cared about resolving my issue. As for the gear itself, the Torch Backpack is outstanding. The build quality is top-notch, and you can tell a lot of thought went into the design. The pocket layout is incredibly practical, everything is easy to access, and it’s extremely comfortable to wear. Whether I’m traveling, commuting through the city, or even making a quick grocery run, it fits seamlessly into my daily routine. One of my favorite features is the integrated lighting system—I use it all the time. Living in Chicago, where the weather can be unpredictable, I’ve put this gear through its paces, and it has held up amazingly well. I also own one of their helmets, and it’s just as impressive. Unit 1 clearly prioritizes both safety and thoughtful design, which is rare to find at this level. I’m already looking forward to purchasing more of their gear as soon as new products are released. If you’re considering Unit 1, don’t hesitate—you’re getting premium quality backed by truly exceptional customer service. They’ve earned my 100% positive recommendation.

    Superb quality, and easy to set up. App works just fine and as I needed a few clarifications I contacted their customer service. Amazing people, fast, friendly and extremely helpful. Recommend anything Unit 1 has as my experiences so far are excellent in all aspects. Safe, quality, great customer service what more can you ask for.

    Je viens de recevoir mon casque et les clignotants. L’équipement est prêt, il ne reste qu’au printemps à arriver et que la neige parte pour essayer le tout. Avec les vidéos , la connexion casque et clignotant a pris environ 20 minutes. Bien hâte de pouvoir enfin l’utiliser
