Giro Manifest Spherical Adult Mountain Bike Helmet - Lightweight & Ventilated for Trail Riding & Enduro Cycling

Most comfortable bike helmet that I've ever owned. Almost 40 years in the saddle and I love this helmet. Super adjustable to get the perfect fit. The best padding that Giro has ever used. A little pricy but you'll have to decide if it's worth it. I got the previous years model at a 20 per cent discount which made the price a little easier to swallow.This is a comfortable helmet. I would buy it again. My only suggestion is for the visor to be able to be lowered further.I am a big fan of Giro Helmets. One saved my life back in 1990. I checked this out at a bike shop. They did not have my size or color. It was $260 at the bike shop. So I think I got a good deal as well.Great MIPS helmet with a very comfortable fit. Easy to adjust for different head sizes. Love the buckle clip that I was used to from my Giro MIPS skiing helmet.I've done road biking for years but just getting into mountain bikes. I've always worn Giro, which simply fits me. Except for the Montaro I recently tried that was painful inside. This Manifest is pricey but very comfy, light, and has some nice features. It feels really nice on your head like a padded glove where others, for my dome at least, whereas others I've tried have pressure points and just uncomfortable. I have no complaints with the fit and feel of this nor the quality.One con aside from the price would be the straps and buckle. Having compared this at the same time to some POC helmets, I much prefer their straps and how they are shaped wider around the ear and how the under chin strap is very minimal. The Manifest has a nice magnetic clasp but the straps and their layout is basic and very bulky under the chin. Both ends are double-straps and one side is doubled back over itself so thats 4 straps you can see on one end, whereas the POC is a single strap on both ends, so much cleaner.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.The chin strap clasp is tricky to release. lt just takes some practice.This helmet fits great! Easy to ajust and the magnetic clasp on the chin strap is great also. I saw another review complained about it being hard to use... I found it very easy to use .
