Giro Manifest Spherical

I've got a fairly big head, 60cm. I tried on 4 helmets. All were in the Large/XL size. I went with the Giro.Giro Manifest Spherical - Great fit. Very comfortable. Good coverage & plenty ventilation. Spherical tech doesn't have the usual MIPS plastic inside liner which can get a bit sweaty. The helmet is in 2 pieces and the outer shell moves. Impressive tech. If a bit pricey.POC Tectal - comically large. even when tightened, it felt & looked huge on my head.Kask Rex - helmet fit good, but Kask straps don't work with my ears (had the same issue with the Protone). Straps were digging in under my earlobesFox Speedframe Pro - close second. Good fit. Plenty of vents. Cheapest of the 4. If it came down to saving some cash I'd have gone for this one.

fits great! looks even better.

On the trail feels breezy. Even at slower speeds, you notice the air flowing in through the large port above the brow of the helmet and across the top of your head.Manifest padding manages to be thick enough to not just keep things comfortable, but also absorb enough sweat to prevent it dripping down into your eyes when you’re working hard.Might be a lot of cash but it’s one of the best vented trail helmets I’ve ever used

I have had many half shells and this is by far the most comfortable I have ever worn.

The area around the ears is lower than most helmets, so it touches the tops of my ears. If you wear glasses, then there are more comfortable helmets for you.

Great quality, light weight, magnet belt works very nice.

First, the MIPS engineering technology of this helmet is mind blowing and proven 5 star effective in UVT testing. So you have this great technology protecting your brain matter and as soon as you put it on you notice how great itfits. The magnetic chin clasp is cool and the straps are fully adjustable to get the fit right. I've seen easier to usestraps but not a big issue as once adjusted, they are stable. Love the padding insde the helmet to help contourto your specific head shape. Expensive, yes, but I don't think many will feel this helmet is not worth it.

Giro helmets fit me perfectly and the Manifest it's great for safety, comfort, ventilation. Price is little steep, that's the reason for 4 stars, but their always some discounted colors through the season.
